I have been trying to use FFS to backup online data but it does not seem to back up the security/ownership settings from AD. This is crucial for a restore. I have tried to turn on Copy DACL, SACL, Owner, Group in Tools/Options but it did not work. I am logged in as domain administrator so that should suffice administrator rights.
Any suggestions?
FFS Does not Sync AD security

Hi,
I'm guessing that you will need to sync from/to places that are both AD file systems. Even then, I'm not sure if it works.
Are the source and destination both AD?
I've got no way to test this.

Ok,
Are you using Windows Pro and logging in to AD?
The only thing I can suggest is to try testing any other sync program to see if the problem follows to the other app. Windows has a simple command line app that can mirror source and destination directories.
The /MIR option is for mirroring the directories.
robocopy C:\Source D:\Destination /MIR /Z /R:3 /W:10
