Data loss can have a significant impact on the use of IT. When information required by an organisation is destroyed or corrupted, this can cause delays in business processes and specialised tasks, or even prevent their execution. In the case of Samba, it should be considered that the properties of the file systems in Windows and Unix differ significantly. There is no universal guarantee that access rights will be maintained in Windows; under certain circumstances, important file properties can be lost. This may also result in the loss of information on alternate data streams (ADS) and DOS attributes.
