Re: Migrating NTFS Permissions

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

We did something very close to what Jorge recommends but our SAN is so large
that the backup and restore required to long of an outage (Days...) so we
did a backup and restore while leaving the old system in place continuing to
service clients with the old SAN. Then did a second backup only on changes
since the orginal backup and did a second restore, followed immediately by
an outage and a robocopy mirror with permissions. Once the robocopy
completed we enabled the new SAN with aliasing' so nothing had to be done on
the clients.
