@andyalder; I should have added that the old and new servers are in different domains and the version of Windows is different.<br />
From Windows 2003 R2 to Windows 2008 R2<br />
<br />
This server is also currently a target server in a couple of DFS shares.<br />
<br />
I just found this link<br />

Will do some reading.<br />
<br />
Any other suggestions/recommendation<wbr />s?

Sorry to ask such a simple question but HP is not my speciality.<br />
I need to do a hardware refresh for one of my file servers.<br />
I've currently have a HP P2000 MSA connect to this server by fibre.<br />
I would liek to move this fibre as is over to the new servers.<br />
My question is, will the share and folder permissions be kept?<br />
Or is there a migration path that I need to follow?<br />
<br />
My main goal is to move the P2000 to the new server AND maintain the file/folder permissions.

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
