Hello All, We have NAS (Network Attached Storage) device and we have purchased new SAN (Storage Attached Network) device, now in our existing NAS Device we are using it as file server in which we have 5000 + Files and Folders of user's, Now i want to move (Migrate) these 5000+ Files and Folders to new purchased SAN Device but condition is i want to maintain (retain) all the NTFS security permission which we have applied on existing files and folders to new SAN Device. I just gone through Robocopy and Richcopy but it won't retain the NTFS Security Permissions. Your help is highly appreciated. Regards, Arjun V. Arjun V.

the SAN device would have to be joined to the same domain/forest in AD. if it is just some Linux with FAT??, ROBOCOPY cannot copy the permissions. But generally, if the SAN device is NTFS formated, I would bet, ROBOCOPY should be able to copy the permissions. ondrej.

Dear Ondrej, Thanks for your response. What parameter should i use with ROBOCOPY? Regards, Arjun Arjun V.

I use usually /E /B /EFSRAW /COPYALL /DCOPY:T o.
