after the owner but access rights are controlled by the SID. Just because a subdirectory is named
BOB does not automatically mean that the current user BOB is the correct owner of the information
being restored.
Special Case for Windows
It is possible to configure the registry value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\NICI\UserDirectoryRoot to indicate that the
user configuration files be placed in the user’s personal configuration directory. In that case, be
prepared to back up and restore the user information independently as part of normal backup and
restore operations. If NICI has been configured in that manner, you should know about it and be
prepared to do individual backups.
This special case for the Windows user directory is enabled by creating the registry value
EnableUserProfileDirectory rather than just pointing the directory path there. If Windows is
configured to automatically create and delete user accounts, the directory might be automatically
deleted when the user profile directory is enabled. In that case, backup and restore is only necessary
for those specific users who are permanent. The default path will be user the
Application
Data\Novell\Nici
directory branch of the user’s directory in Documents and Settings.
