I need to move data to a bigger drive. (non-system drives) The file
structure has extensive access rights setup. When I copy or move the data
to another drive all the access rights take on the properties of the new
drive and the old rights are lost. Is there a way to move NT data and keep
the access rights in place?

That works. I had a hard time at first finding robocopy.exe. But I finally
found it at

I tried it out and it works great.

Thanks

of course this in not a Microsoft product so we cannot make any warranties

Please contact the software vendor for more detail.
