Something I just remembered when performing a restore for a user.
When copying files from a CIFS snapshot using the hidden .snapshot directory NTFS permissions are lost. Instead they are inherited from the folder you are copying to.
To maintain permissions, use NDMPCOPY specifying the snapshot name in the source (first) parameter…
ndmpcopy "filer1:/vol/vol_A/qtree_A/.snapshot/nightly.1/MyDocs" "filer1:/vol/vol_A/qtree_A/MyDocs"
You can enclose the path in quotes if the path has spaces in.
