Can I backup and strip file ownership and other permissions?
I'm running Acronis Backup Advanced 11.5 for Windows.
After backing up account, X on the local machine, I mounted the image and found I could see but not view the files as I did not have permission.
As I test I set all files to Everyone Full-Control. I did another backup, and now I was able to files in the mounted image. This however is an ugly solution and not how I want to keep things going forward.
My real question is: Can I do a backup where permissions are stripped?

Thank you Igor,
This is exactly what I'm looking for.
I'll give it a try and post results.
PS. If I'm backing up L:\users\Administrator how do I specify file vs disk?
I think currently it's backing up the whole disk.
Thanks again

Hello Luke,
If you are selecting specific folders for backup, you most probably doing a file backup.
You can check the documentation here to see information on selecting different data types.
