Q: copy with permission

Hello,
I just build a windows 2003 server and I need to copy all the files from a
shared drive (shared on windows server 2000) to this serversâ€™ local drive
with without loosing the permissions settings. When I dry normal copy-paste,
it reset all the permissions.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Jim.

Thanks for the reply. I was working on that.
the following batch file does not work because of _source is not define
correctly.
Does RoboCopy.exe accept space in folder name?

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET _source=â€N:\Tmp\Data Reports\â€
SET _dest=C:\Tmp\Data Reports\
SET _what=/COPYALL /B /SEC /MIR

:: /COPYALL :: COPY ALL file info
:: /B :: copy files in Backup mode.
:: /SEC :: copy files with SECurity
:: /MIR :: MIRror a directory tree

SET _options=/R:0 /W:0 /LOG:MyLogfile.txt /NFL /NDL

:: /R:n :: number of Retries
:: /W:n :: Wait time between retries
:: /LOG :: Output log file
:: /NFL :: No file logging
:: /NDL :: No dir logging

ROBOCOPY %_source% %_dest% %_what% %_options%
