Hi
The command is:
robocopy  \\<server>\<Source_share> M:\<Destination_Share> /COPYALL /ZB /R:2 /W:2 /E 

Copyall will copy the permissions
/ZB = Restartable
/R:2 = number of retries in case the file is in use or has a problem (2 retries)
/W:1= number of seconds to wait between retries (1 second here)
/E: Including folders and subfolders, even empty folders.

Robocopy supports path names > 256 by default.

Regards
