/MIR and /COPYALL is going to bring everything across permissions too. In fact, having /MIR, /E and /COPYALL is redundant.
You probably want to use a combination of copy flags see here: http://ss64.com/nt/robocopy.html - Andy O. ________________________________________ From: helpdesk UK [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 3:06 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Robocopy Hello Everyone, I am trying to copy data from external hdd to a server and have done mappings for new users as well hence the difference between the source names and destination names. robocopy "Z:\AbbottK" "\\source-server\abbottke01$" /MIR /E /COPYALL /V /R:2 /W:10 robocopy "Z:\AbdobakiR" "\\source-server\abdoubr01$" /MIR /E /COPYALL /V /R:2 /W:10 What this script does is copies the data but for some reason resets all destination permissions to blank i.e. none nothing exist so this has happened every time I run this script. The requirement of the script / batch is as follows 1. Should mirror source ( usb h.d.d. )==> destination (server share) if not same sync if same ignore and carry on further. 2. If fails retry at least once after waiting for 10 seconds 3. Should log everything (verbose) on the screen only i.e. command window. 4. Should inherit destination NTFS permissions and not reset / break it. Any help is much appreciated. cheers ED ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
