Network filesystems pose some interesting challenges in regards to preserving ownership and permissions. When you connect to another computer that is hosting a shared volume, you usually authenticate by providing a username and password. The account whose credentials you provide is an account on that other computer, and it is this account's privileges that determine what access you have to files and folders on the shared volume. Additionally, any files that are copied to the shared volume will be owned by that user account, regardless of the ownership of those files on the source volume. This is not a behavior specific to CCC, it is simply the nature of network filesystems.
An example will be very helpful in understanding the implications of this behavior. Suppose Sally would like to back up some Movies from her Mac's home folder to another Mac shared by Bob and Joe. On Sally's Mac, there is a user account named "sally". On Bob and Joe's Mac, File Sharing has been enabled in the Sharing Preference Pane, and there are two user accounts, "joe" and "bob". Bob has attached an external hard drive named "Backup" to his Mac that he and Joe have been using for backup, and he has created a folder named "Sally's Movies" on this volume to which Sally will copy files. Sally does the following to connect to Bob and Joe's Mac:
We NFS Carbon Movies Folder
The Backup volume now appears on Sally's Desktop, and in CCC's Destination selector in the Network Volumes section. Next, Sally chooses Choose a folder... from CCC's Source selector and locates the folder of movies that she would like to copy to Bob and Joe's Mac. She then chooses Choose a folder... from the Destination selector and locates the "Sally's Movies" folder on the Backup network volume. She clicks the Clone button and the Movies are backed up.
Later that day, Joe is using his computer and he notices that he can see some of the movies in the "Sally's Movies" folder, but some of the subfolders have a universal "No access" badge and he cannot view those folders' contents. This occurred for two reasons:
As a result, the folders on the Backup volume are owned by Bob and some of them limit access to other users (Joe in this case). Joe asks Sally about this and she decides to try copying some of the movies to one of Joe's folders on the backup volume. When she chooses Choose a folder... from CCC's Destination menu, however, she sees the same universal "No Access" badge on Joe's folder. Sally can't copy files to this folder (nor can CCC) because the Backup volume was mounted using Bob's credentials, and Joe's backup folder on the backup volume happened to be inaccessible to Bob. Sally unmounts the backup volume and reconnects to it using Joe's credentials, and she is then able to copy files to Joe's private folder.
First, it is important to keep in mind that no application can modify the ownership of a file or folder on a network share. Ownership changes must be applied on the computer or device that is hosting the network volume. Additionally, permissions changes can only be made to files and folders owned by the user whose credentials were used to mount the network volume. For this reason, it is generally easier to apply both ownership and permissions changes on the computer or device hosting the network volume.
Alternative #2: You can create a new folder on the shared volume and specify that folder as the destination in CCC by choosing Choose a folder... from the Destination selector.
Alternative #3: You can have CCC create a disk image on the network volume rather than copying files directly to a folder. When CCC creates a disk image on the destination, the disk image is formatted to match the source and attached locally, so CCC can preserve the permissions and ownership of the files that you are copying to it.
Some NAS file sharing services will automatically rename files to "DOS compatible" names, or simply issue errors when working with various file names. In particular, files or folders that start or end with a space character, or names that contain a colon character (":") are unacceptable. When the file sharing service encounters files or folders with these disallowed characters, it will automatically rename these items, e.g. " filename.txt" would become "_1CZVGB". This "mangling" of file and folder names inevitably leads to errors during a backup task. To avoid these errors, you should either rename the offending files on the source, or connect to the NAS device using AFP rather than SMB (if applicable). Choose Connect to server from the Finder's Go menu, then specify "afp://servername.local/volume" to connect to the server using a different protocol.
Another common issue that people encounter when copying files to a NAS volume is errors that are the result of a name restriction. For example, Synology NAS devices (and many others) disallow file names that start with .lock, CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM0 - COM9, LPT0 - LPT9, _vti_, desktop.ini, any filename starting with $. These NAS devices often produce bogus error codes in these cases, e.g. "File name too long". Some NAS devices have specific character restrictions as well, e.g. NAS devices that follow the Microsoft OneDrive naming conventions, which exclude " * : ? / \ , and leading and trailing spaces in file or folder names also aren't allowed.
We are aware of the risk of excluding the specific files or folders that are mentioned in this article from scans that are made by your antivirus software. Your system will be safer if you do not exclude any files or folders from scans.
This article provides both file names and folders that can be excluded. All the files and folders that are described in this article are protected by default permissions to allow only SYSTEM and administrator access, and they contain only operating system components. Excluding an entire folder might be simpler but might not provide as much protection as excluding specific files based on file names.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\Services\Ntfrs\Parameters\DB Log File Directory The default location is %windir%\Ntfrs. Exclude the following files.Note Settings for specific file exclusions is documented here for completeness. By default, these folders allow access only to System and Administrators. Please verify that the correct protections are in place. These folders contain only component working files for FRS and DFSR.
Turn off scanning of the DFSR Staging folder as specified in the msDFSR-StagingPath attribute of the object CN=SYSVOL Subscription,CN=Domain System Volume,CN=DFSR-LocalSettings,CN=DomainControllerName,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=DomainName in AD DS. This attribute contains the path to the actual location that DFS replication uses to stage files. Specifically, exclude the following files:
Turn off scanning of files in the Sysvol\Sysvol folder or the SYSVOL_DFSR\Sysvol folder.The current location of the Sysvol\Sysvol or SYSVOL_DFSR\Sysvol folder and all the subfolders is the file system reparse target of the replica set root. The Sysvol\Sysvol and SYSVOL_DFSR\Sysvol folders use the following locations by default:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\Services\DFSR\Parameters\Replication Groups\GUID\Replica Set Configuration File=Path In this registry subkey, "Path" is the path of an XML file that states the name of the Replication Group. In this example, the path would contain "Domain System Volume."The default location is the following hidden folder:
%systemdrive%\System Volume Information\DFSR Exclude the following files from this folder and all its subfolders:If any one of these folders or files is moved or is put in a different location, scan or exclude the equivalent element.
In some scenarios, on a Windows Server 2008-based computer that has the Hyper-V role installed or on a Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 or on a Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2-based computer, it may be necessary to configure the real-time scanning component within the antivirus software to exclude files and entire folders. For more information, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Basing on countless workarounds and compatibility shims people attempted to use, all of which unsuccessful, there is absolutely no way to get movies to work, at all.Forced compatibility modes, windowed modes, D3D wrappers - nothing fixes the issue. Well, it is possible to enable a certain compatibility shim to prevent the crash - however,while the crash is gone and audio works fine, there is absolutely no video output, ever.
This fact sheet provides current information on low global warming potential (GWP) alternatives in newly manufactured passenger vehicle air conditioners (ACs), in lieu of high-GWP hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
Central ventilation and air conditioner systems are widely utilized nowadays in public places for air exchange and temperature control, which significantly influences the transfer of pollutants between indoors and outdoors. To study the effect of central ventilation and air conditioner systems on the concentration and health risk from airborne pollutants, a spatial and temporal survey was carried out using polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as agent pollutants. During the period when the central ventilation system operated without air conditioning (AC-off period), concentrations of 2-4 ring PAHs in the model supermarket were dominated by outdoor levels, due to the good linearity between indoor air and outdoor air (r(p) > 0.769, p 2ff7e9595c
