File share migration

Hi

I have a file server with more then thousands shares, each one with specific permission.
I need to recreate the data partition and recover data from backup.
Does anyone knows how to backup the file shares and shares permission in order to reapply them when the folders will be recreted?

Thanks,

hi

hbbw063,


You could also use Norton Ghost.  It should backup your shares and permissions
Another way that is very clumsy but works reasonably well (if you have an external backup device) is to do an XCOPY and using the /O switch to copy all owvership and ACL information.
For more info on XCOPY open a Command window (DOS-Prompt) and type XCOPY /?
Be aware that the Xcopy command with /O option  only works in the same machine, to mantain the same share.
