Well, I still believe using linux for copying the files will be easier, and
easier also to explain to the other firm. Also, it seems that they are
acting more like the enemy than as someone that should be working with you.
Have they explained how are THEY going to assure the dates of the files will
not be inadvertly changed , like, when someone will look at the files ?
Or, in a somewhat cumbersome idea :
You could schedule something to run under de backup account, to make a dump
of the file list, with creation/modify dates. Then, if all that it is
important to them is to know when the file was modified, that list could be
used.

Sure. But "Burn all the files to a tape" sounds like the files will
be restored, then backed up again to another tape.
No, in this case, we will be backing up the folders direct from disk to
tape, using EMC Networker. Then giving the tape to the firm that is
coordinating our compliance with these requests.
Previously we did do it the other way - backup from disk to tape;
re-direct to different disk on different server (still in the same AD
domain); seize ownership and change permissions; then they would be
copied to external disk.
That's not turning over the original backup tape.
That was never the request, for the original backup tape. Just for
(current) copies of user home folders.
Another bit: The OP mentions Networker. Networker uses Unix tar as
the basic tape format (at least years ago when I used it (it was
"Legato" then)). So you're actually providing the files in a format
closer to the original using Linux to copy the files, and closer to a
Unix format if you use the NT-based backup software. (Little bit of
irony there if you like that sort of thing, ha.)
