If you copied the files, you are also losing the file permissions. You can download robocopy from Microsoft, or use xcopy from a win2003 or XP machine. (I don't think that the Win2K version copied security) Be sure to read the help files, both Xcopy and Robocopy need to be used with switches to do what you want.
Or, test your restore procedures and restore the data to the new drive.

Wiederkehr/AT-Austin/3M/US Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 9:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: file creation date problem I am getting ready to move about 1 TB of data from one SAN environment to another SAN. When I copy the data from the old SAN to the new SAN, the creation date is set to the current date, which forces a new full backup of all the data. Does anyone know of a way to copy the data, and force the O/S to keep the original creation date? I am running WIN2000 on the client and the server. The TSM client is at 5.5.1.6, and the TSM server is at 5.5.2.01. Thanks, Mike Wiederkehr 3M Electro & Communications Market, Austin IT 145-2S-04 (512) 984-3297 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
