IV. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
________________________________________

For 4.x, TBackup creates TRESTORE.BAT with the correct
RIGHTS.EXE syntax to restore trustees and IRFs to the
current directory (and subdirectories). You must run
TRESTORE to restore the trustees and IRFs.

For 3.x, TBackup creates TRESTORE.BAT with the correct
GRANT.EXE and ALLOW.EXE syntax to restore trustees and
IRMs to the current directory (and subdirectories).
You must run TRESTORE to restore the trustees and IRMs.

VI. KNOWN ISSUES
________________________________________

Issue 1: Files and directories are NOT restored, only trustee
assignments and inherited rights filters.

Issue 2: Only the current directory is used.

Issue 3: If the file TRESTORE.BAT already exists in the current
directory, it will be overwritten.

Issue 4: TRESTORE.BAT must be run from the same directory
that TBackup was originally run from.

VII. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
________________________________________

Q: Is there any other way to preserve trustee assignments?

A: Yes, use Backup/Restore solutions (SMS compliant for 4.x).

Q: Why does TRESTORE.BAT begin with Change Directory (CD) and
Change conteXt (CX) commands for 4.x?

A: The RIGHTS syntax in TRestore is dependent on using the same
Directory Services context and filesystem directory. CD and CX
take care of these dependencies for you.

Q: What if I copy or move the filesystem directory?

A: You have to change the CD command at the beginning of
TRestore.BAT. Some people have used this as part of a "poor
man's" file migration. TCopy or SMS Backup/Restore are probably
preferred solutions.
