Hi, Thank you for the post. B:\Units\Test3\Test3: The system cannot find the file specified. The error means no folder "B:\Units\Test3\Test3" and it's true. So you need specify "B:\Units" as the target folder, it will find the folder "B:\Units\Test3". Here is Wiki article to explain this condition. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/408.how-to-back-up-and-restore-ntfs-and-share-permissions.aspx If there are more inquiries on this issue, please feel free to let us know.

Thank you. Looking closer at the very code I posted, I see that now, trying to do too many things at once yesterday and overlooked that. "B:\Units\Test3\Test3" clearly doesn't exist. With the advice provided, I was able to get it to work. Thank you. Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

As a test, I did a simple test save of icacls settings (logged in as Domain Admin) and CMD is being run as Administrator. I then did a restore and it says it can't find the file specified. Is there a syntax issue with the /restore command or is there a permissions issue based on where the .txt file was stored? This drive (B:) is an iSCSI connected SAN.
