Hi!
I'm gonna use this amazing software to migrate a File Server to another server and realized it doesn't check for changes on security permissions. So if the file is already copied to target folder and their security permissions are changed on source, it doesn't update them.
Is there any way to make this work? Is there any workaround? I'm thinking on running robocopy /secfix but don't know if it is the most efficient way.
Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance!

Since you are migrating, the robocopy is probably best since it won't be an ongoing thing? If it's a one-time thing, it is fine to do the known solution even if it isn't the fastest or most efficient.
Or, FFS has an option to "copy DACL, SACL, Owner, Group" with running as admin. I'm not sure if that applies to previously synced items, but I don't see why it wouldn't!

Sadly it seems to not update permissions of already existing files, that's why I'm asking if it's the correct behaviour or I am doing something wrong.
Thanks!
