Chris,

        It depends on how you do your backup.  Check to see if you use the
DIRECTORY option.  Please note the second paragraph is you have user
volumes.  If you use this option on your backup then you can use it on your
restore.  Another thing I often do is setup the backup job to use the
BULDACCT utility to create the BULDJOB1 and BULDJOB2 job streams right
before the "full volume" backup.  I then make sure to purge the jobs off the
system right after the backup is complete because they contain all of the
account, group, and user passwords.  Naturally that doesn't help you at this
point, just future reference.

DIRECTORY           Specifies that the system accounting directory
                    plus all HFS directories are to be stored.  This
                    option requires System Manager (SM) or system
                    supervisor (OP) capability.

                    If ONVS or SPLITVS is not specified, the DIRECTORY
                    defaults to writing ONLY the system directory.
                    Otherwise, the directories of the specified volume
                    sets are written.  This allows operators and
                    managers to store or copy private volume sets in
                    their entirety.

Thanx,
        Jon

Hi

We have just recovered one of our systems from a disk failure.  However the
permissions etc for all accounts were lost on the restore.

Is it possible to store accounts, groups and users and keep all
capabilities, permissions ?

I have looked in the turbostore manual but it seems to say that accounts are
restored with default capabilities.

What is the best  way to store the system and then restore this backup onto
a blank system with the correct account,group and user capabilities ?

Thanks in advance

Chris
