if doing a copy, with ROBOCOPY it does not copy over what already has been copied in a previous run (assuming the correct switches here). Sometimes you need to do multiple runs because the file copy stops, or the source is updated, etc

Hello Steve,
Thanks for the reply. According to the description, my understanding of the
further question is that: you want to know what is the best method to
perform file copy the files and folders from drive U: to drive X: while
keeping all the permissions.
Based on the research, "Drag and Drog" cannot preserve the permission
settings. I would like to suggest that you use the "robocopy" utility to
copy files and folders from drive U: to drive X: and it can preserve the
NTFS permission.
Here is an example just for your reference.
Example:
=============
Ex. "robocopy U: X: /e /sec"
/e: Copies subdirectories. Note that this option includes empty directories.
/sec: Copies files with security
Please ensure the local credential that you logon has the permission to
read source directory and the create files on the target.
For more reference, please refer to:

Source of Robocopy:
=====================
1. For Windows Server 2003 operation system, we need to install the Windows
Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools, which includes the robocopy utility.
You may download the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools from the link

96ee-b18c4790cffd&displaylang=en
2. For Windows Server 2008 operation system, the robocopy utility is
already built in the system, we may run it in the command prompt directly.
Hope this information will be helpful.
