Drive #1 is continuously updated by users. Drive #2 contains a an exact copy of the first. (permissions and all). Is it possible to copy JUST the permissions from drive #2 back onto Drive #1.. Someone got into the system and changed a lot of the permissions on drive #1 and i was hoping there was a faster way to restore them other than every one by hand. The last time drive #2 matched Drive #1 was on Tuesday. I know some users changed some files since then.. and they just kept the same file name... Hence, why I am hoping to just change/copy the Permissions and not overwrite the files thereby destroying their changes from Wednesday and Today.
