Moving files keeping custom sharing settings

[Guest Claudio]

Hello

I have a Windows 2003 server, and the local disk is running out of space,

there i have four directories shared for all users. My idea was to install a

network disk and move all data keeping the sharing configuration. Is it

possible?

My idea was to copy all, and then configure shared folders all over again.

Any idea i´ll apreciated.

Thanks.

Bye

Yes - several ways. Use NTBackup to back up the data & restore it (including

security), or use robocopy from the resource kit to copy the data (with the

/sec switch) - since it's only four folders, I'd just re-share them in the

target location afterwards, rather than worrying about copying the *share*

info itself.
