Transfer Folder structure and files with permissons.

[Guest]

Hi all,

I want to transfer around 80 GB of Files and Folders from one File Server
Windows 2000 server to the Other Windows Server 2003.

I tried to use the SubInACL.exe and RMTShare.EXE softwares as described in
www.jsifaq.com tip-8587. There is an xfr.bat files created with a script.

I can copy them to different location on the same server (e.g. XFR C
E:\USERS E:\TEST). Now when i try to restore on the same server (e.g. XFR R
F:\USERS E:\TEST), it gives an error as
Syntax:
XFR C FolderPath LogPath
XFR R FolderPath LogPath

I just need to restore them to the new server as it is, since just copying
from one to another will take lot of time. Also to add both of these servers
are in a different domian but contains same usernames/passwords. I think we
cannot tranfer the persmissions in such case ?

Please help !

Thanks,

abc

XFR.bat is designed to restore to the same folder on the source computer or on a destination computer.
It is NOT designed to restore to a different folder.

If you must restore to F:\Users, do the following before running
XFR R F:\USERS E:\TEST

1. Rename E:\TEST\parent_E_USERS.txt to E:\TEST\parent_F_USERS.txt
2. Rename E:\TEST\folder_E_USERS.txt to E:\TEST\folder_F_USERS.txt
3. Edit every file in E:\test and change any occurence of E:\USERS to F:\USERS

Hi Jerold,

Sorry for late reply, as i could just check my post. Thanks for your help. I
just tested by creating few test folders and renaming as you said below. It
works fine.

Also i had restored all the folders on the new server on the same directory.
But permissions(except the Administrators and users), are not transferred
since these both servers are in a seperate domain. I don't think AddUsers.exe
would help either ? Please reply.

I got few errors as shown below,

Elapsed Time: 00 00:00:39
Done: 15519, Modified 15373, Failed 146, Syntax errors 80731
Last Done : e:\users\Shuaiba\WS_SEC\IOM\IOM -Serially
Last Failed: e:\users\Projects\Projects\HVAC
Residential\RECP_SEC\saba\oldfiles\
Last Syntax Error:WARNING : /pace =egdomain\ws_sec type=0x0 flags=0x13
accessma
sk=0x1301bf : Error when checking arguments -
e:\users\Shuaiba\WS_SEC\IOM\IOM -Serially

Shows some Modified 15373, Failed 146, Syntax errors 80731. I am not able to
guess exactly what these errors are ???

Thanks again and please reply to above.

Edit the parent_ and folder_ files and replace the domain name.
