As with my previous post about the failing SMART Hard Drive, I have spent the last couple of days trying to backup the data to an external Hard Drive.. whilst keeping all the necessary NTFS permissions intact.
Robocopy doesn’t work even with the /SEC /MIR /COPYALL switches enabled
However XCopy appears to be the way to go with this..
xcopy source destination /s /e /x /c /q /h /k /i /r /Y
where source is the path of the file or folder (either as a local drive or a UNC) you want to copy
and destination is the path of the file or folder (either as a local drive or a UNC) you want to put the copied files or folders..
Works a treat!
