file-server migration

[David Procknow]

I am trying to migrate all the data from one server to
another and retain all of the shares and security. What is
the best way of going about this route. Should I create
the new shares and xcopy the data over. If xcopy is the
tool to use, which arguments should I use to retain all
the settings.

Thanks.

Type xcopy /? you will have your answer. But i've done
several times and i use these arguments.

xcopy "From Path" "to Path" /H /E /O

H: Copies hidden and system files also

E: Copies directories and subdirectories, including empty
ones

O: Copies file ownership and ACL information
