         Hi Sharath
               Yes you can restore the same folder with all shares alive. Windows backup is capable of this. If you like, run a test backup/restore on a small file and folder with shared and security rights.

I tried but the share is not alive.
All the permissions are the same.Can i backup from windows 2003 machine and retore it in windows 2000 machine.?
Will it support backing such huge data of 400 GB

          Hi Sharath
                No you can not backup from a different machine then restore to a different machine while keeping all permissions.
