Hello,<br />
<br />
I have an aging file server that is currently running Windows 2008. &nbsp;Our new server has Windows 2008R2. &nbsp;I would like to copy all of the files from the old server to the new one, but I would like to retain all of the Sharing and Security Permissions if possible. &nbsp;What would be the best way to handle this?<br />
<br />
Also, on the new server, is it possible to setup a quota so that each person's network drive will only have a limited amount of space they can save to? &nbsp;I have some clients that have 40GB of data on their network drive!<br />
<br />
Thank you<br />

Copying Files from old server to new Windows 2008 server

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.

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.

IT Administration is the processes and best practices for programming and development, and incorporates methodologies for managing activities and projects. Common methodologies include waterfall, prototyping, iterative and incremental development, spiral development, rapid application development, extreme programming and various types of agile methodology. The life-cycle "model" is a more general term for a category of methodologies, and a software development "process" a more specific term to refer to a specific process chosen by a specific organization.
