I need some help.

I'm trying to back up our student fileserver by dumping all of their
data files to another server with some free disk space.

The fileserver I'm trying to backup is a Win2k server machine. Each
student has their own folder on a drive that they have permissions to
view. No other students can access their folder.

The problem I'm running into is that when I try to dump the files to
the other server, I get an error message telling me that access is
denied to some of the subfolders (my pictures) on the students'
folders. I'm logged in as an administrator on the machine, so I can
see whats inside the students' main folders, its just some of the
subfolders that I'm having trouble with.

Is there ANY other way besides individually taking ownership of each
and every folder to do this?
