Dear community,

I am using FreeFileSync for replicating data from an old 2008 server to a new 2019 server. This migration is divided into two tasks:

Copy Groups data
Copying files from source to target without permission because new and proper permission is set on target already.

Copy roaming profiles
I need to retain the "CREATOR OWNER" permission. In order to do so, I think I would need to enable "Options > Copy DACL, SACL, Owner, Group". But this would have impact on the groups copy task which I do not permissions to from old server to be set.

It looks like this setting is a global setting which will apply to all replication jobs. What can I do?

Resolved it myself by using different GlobalSettings.xml file.
