We've had much
success using robocopy version 1.95 available in the Windows 2000 Resource
Kit.
From the console of
the source NT 4 or W2K server, map the Z:\ drive to the appropriate volume on
the filer. To avoid fragmentation, move the data in two steps -- The
/CREATE switch creates a directory tree structure containing zero-length files
only. The second pass actually copies the data to the destination.
The /SEC switch preserves NTFS permissions. Here's an example . .
.
PASS
ONE
robocopy "F:\folderA" "Z:\Accounting_TOP\folderA" /E /SEC /CREATE /R:3
/W:1 /V /LOG:folderA1.TXT
PASS
TWO
robocopy "F:\folderA" "Z:\Accounting_TOP\folderA" /E /SEC /R:3 /W:1 /V
/LOG:folderA2.TXT
Basic
question.... what tools are commonly used to migrate NT directories with
complex permission sets? NT is not very good at preserving permission's.
I'm looking at the best method of migrating NT group directories, many
of which have very specific file permissions.
I've tried tools such as dumpacl but many of the
functions don't work against the filer. I'm running 6.1.1R2 on clustered
840's.
Thanks!
