It is part of the Resource Kit.
Essentially it is a command based copy util (fully supports LFN).
Similar to Xcopy. However it also copies all the file and directory
permissions with it. So you can use it to copy everything from your old
server to the new one. Your directory structure with shares and perms
will be duplicated to the new box.

Danger Will Robinson, Danger! That would be a bad move.
BE option would work fine, or you could use RoboCopy to move all the
data with the perms intact. I finally had an opportunity to use RoboCopy
for a full server move recently and couldn't have been happier with the
results.

Use Ghost. I think it would be the fastest method.

Subject: Easiest way to move everything to new server
I have one W2K Server that I want to move everything lock, stock, and
barrel to a new one -- all data, shares, and file permissions. What is
the best way?
My ideas:
1) Backup server with Backup Exec and restore to new server.
2) Copy data files and then import registry key
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares
ala http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q125/9/96.asp
Your ideas?
