Info regarding Files with extension %3Aacl

Hello,

Recently I had a problem restoring some information that was missing. Supposedly there were 17 Gb of information in the cloud or at least that was the MBS said, when I update the repositories unfortunately I realized that there is just 4GB of information for that account. Nevertheless I decided to restore those files and some of them have chain %3Aacl after the extension of each file. I think those are the permissions but I’m not sure.

Could you please tell me what are they and explain a bit the permissions restoring?

[reply=“Carlos;d1627”] Yes they are the permission files, which should not be restored. That was an old issue that was resolved in 6.2. What version are you running?

Hello [reply=“David Gugick;5767”],

Then that’s the problem, in this client the agent version installed is 6.0.2.28. For some technical reasons we’ve delayed the deployment of the new version because the situation we’re living nowadays due to coronavirus.

I am still interested in the process of the permissions restoring, can you describe how it works?
