Changing from REFS to NTFS - keeping permissions intact

-

hello,

i have server deployed in small business environment (server 2012 essentials (not r2))

now .. formatted 2 of data partitions refs thinking best thing do, use on own nas storage server , happy way works.

however realised mistake because windows server backup not allow incremental backups refs partition :(

the backup destination wd external usb drive of 2tb.

i have removed backup plan wsb can access external drive.

i have backed data of 1 of refs partitions external drive, reformatted partition ntfs , copied data (the data on partition accounting data , permissions straight forward.

but second partition want reformat ntfs user profile data located, , i'm weary of messing permissions up, in fact when making copy of it, getting "do not have permission" warnings.

so question : can format drive ntfs , use wsb restore entire data structure complete of correct permissions ?

will work restoring data refs file system ntfs ??

i grateful if 1 of guys/girls has done , can confirm work no issues.

many many thanks

i set in lab, , yes restored files , folders , maintained permissions.

just clarity, chose 'file , folder' restore rather full disk restore.

i did via dashboard, not full wsb, doubt matters.
