Redirected Restore to Same Drive, Security

OS: Windows 2003 Server on AD Domain
Server Function: Fileserver
Amount of Data: 250+GB
BE Version: 12.5

I am going to be doing a full restore of data back to the original server and drive it originated on due to having to break an array to expand/extend.
My question is:
If I do the restore back to the original drive but redirect the restore through a peer-to-peer 1Gbps connection instead of the 100Mbps connection the server has to the switch will the restored files retain the original security configuration they had when they were backed up?

I personally believe they will but I want to ask just to be 100% sure.

Also does anybody see any issues with doing a restore in this manner?

Thank you very much, in advance for your help!

Hi there, Network speed has

Hi there,

Network speed has nothing to do with restoring data, so no need to worry on that.
When Backup Exec backs up a folder, it does so with all attributes. When you restore, it will restore with the same security levels as existed on the backed up server. So you can restore to another server, and carry over your security settings.
I did this on a server that I had to recover a couple of months ago, and had no folder security issues raised.

Laters!
