Copy folders without losing permissions

[robbyp]

Hello,

I just installed a new RAID 5 drive on our NT server and I will be copying all of the contents of another drive to the new drive. How can I do this without reseting permissions? Thanks.

I would use drive imaging software like Ghost.

And when you do a Windows copy, don't you also copy the permissions as well?

If both drives are available, xcopy or robocopy (with proper command line switches) wil work. If this is the boot volume or both drives can't be online at the same time, Ghost or DriveImage.

robocopy is the answer, it's part of the RK but if you search M$'s site I belive you can d/l it. It's a pretty powerful utilty, run robocopy /??? for all options.

Or, you can move the files. That will keep the permissions.
