Copy Permissions from Snapshots
Hello,
I need to fix the permissions on one of our shares. Is there a way to copy just the permissions from the snapshot, if so what are the steps? I tried using Robocopy and received the following errors:
Source - \\xxx.xx.xxx.xxx\ifs\.snapshot\share_14days_2021-02-18-19\data\Share\
Dest : \\Destination_share.com\dest_Share\
Files : *.*
Options : *.* /V /X /FP /BYTES /TEE /S /E /DCOPY:D /COPY:S /SECFIX /PURGE /MIR /NP /MT:128 /R:1 /W:1
NOTE : NTFS Security may not be copied - Source may not be NTFS.
2021/02/23 19:15:08 ERROR 1326 (0x0000052E) Accessing Source Directory
Thank you in advance.

@P_Rene,
Have you tried the permission repair job on Isilon?

Thank you @DELL-Sam L, It didn't work because the snapshot does not live within the share. Also the 2nd link is for SRDF.

Thanks @PhilLam, I did not try the permission repair because I need the permission restored from a snapshot. Is it possible to restore the permissions from a previous snapshot?

Hello johny919,
Here are what the links state.
https://dell.to/3GfIM9W...
Not able to change permission on the Share created on .snapshot folder.
Summary: Users are not able to change the permission share or export that is created by administrator on the path that is under /ifs/.snapshot.
Audience Level: Customer
Article Content
Symptoms
Shares created on any directory under /ifs/.snapshot will not allow the users to change permission the share or export.
The share on that path will be read only and will not be changed to write or execute.
Cause
This is as per designed that .snapshot is always in read only format and we cannot change any permission on the .snapshot folder because we are not allowed to modify any security descriptor of read only file system,so creating a share on these paths will not allow end user to access the filesystem.
Below is the example where we try to modify the permission using chmod comand from root user but we are not allowed to do that.
Example:-
Halfpipe8011-1# pwd
/ifs/.snapshot
Halfpipe8011-1# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel),5(operator),10(admin),20(staff),70(ifs)
Halfpipe8011-1# chmod -R +a user root allow dir_gen_all /ifs/.snapshot
chmod: Could not set the security descriptor for SIQ-8f99f46001a5905225724af10acb3c60-latest: Read-only file system
chmod: Could not set the security descriptor for xyz: Read-only file system
Resolution
2)You can make .snapshot visible in smb using below commands:-
#isi smb shares modify --hide-dot-files=False --share=
"--hide-dot-files {yes | no} Hides files and directories that begin with a period ".". but only if the snapshot lives within the share"

Hello johny919,
Here are what the links state.
https://dell.to/3IRvrXb .
Security information is not copied and an "Access is denied" error is returned when using Robocopy to copy files from Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 to an Isilon cluster
Audience Level: Customer
Article Content
Symptoms
Issue
When you run a Robocopy job with the /B option (backup mode) to copy files from a Windows 2008 R2 server to an Isilon cluster, the security configuration information, such as Access Control Lists (ACLs) is not copied. Additionally, Robocopy returns one of the following errors:
Cause
Cause
This issue occurs because the /B option does not open the files to be backed up, which consequently prevents access to the security information of those files.
Resolution
Solution

IMPORTANT!
Ensure you download the correct version of the hotfix that applies to the version of Robocopy you have installed. To check which version of Robocopy is installed on the Windows computer:
