Hi All,

Im trying to backup/restore ACL prmissions for the windows NTFS files/
folders. i decided to use subinacl tool.

i successfully backed up the ACL permissions using the command :
subinacl.exe /outputlog="test.log" /file test.txt.

When i try to restore the ACL permisions using the
command :subinacl.exe /playfile test.log.

But no luck. when i check the test.txt file's security information,
notthing is availabale. there is no users/groups and permissions. its
just cleaned all the informations and also i couldnt open the file. im
wondering is ther any thing i have to do ?

here is some output of /playfile command:

C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools>subinacl.exe /playfile
test.log

WARNING : /pace =builtin\administrators access_allowed_ace_type-0x0 :
