What happens if you copy a file over manually using the GUI? Does it inherit permissions as expected? Or does it blank them out like your 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 ----------------------------------------- This message, and any attachments to it, may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
