EMCopy Problem with Folder Removal on Diff Copy
Summary: Using emcopy64 v 4.20.2.0 (latest?) to mirror after making a first copy pass, won't delete folder on destination that no longer exist on source (when NTFS permissions are a certain way).
Details:
- I make the first copy pass of the folder structure.
- My account (local admin account) does not have permission to access certain folders in that structure; however, emcopy is able to copy them anyway by asserting the backup privilege that administrators have.
- A user deletes subfolder X in that structure on source, and this folder is one of the ones that my account does not have permission to access.
- I make the second copy pass of the folder structure to pick up changes.
- Emcopy returns an error “directory removing failed” when trying to delete subfolder X from the destination to mirror the change made at the source.
- Other tools, such as robocopy, fastcopy, and beyond compare are able to delete inaccessible folders like subfolder X, by asserting the restore privilege. However, I need to use emcopy because it’s the only tool where difference copies between Windows and Isilon work correctly.
- The command line switches I’m using are: emcopy64.exe “source path” “destination path” /secforce /o /s /de /sd /c /i /r:0 /w:0 /purge /preserveroot /sdd /stream /log+:"log path"
Anything conflicting that anyone can see with those combinations of switches? Has anyone seen this or can duplicate?
