Moving files but keeping the security

Snow-Munki · 11 Jun 2008 at 10:20

Hi,

This weekend I'll be putting the SAN onto our file server and was going to copy all the files across.

However know that when copying or moving files to a new volume windows doesn't copy the securoty rights across.

Is there anyway around this ?

Thanks.

If it's something you need to do a lot, it's worth looking at investing in a copy of securecopy.
