Xcopy or Robocopy

hello,

i want move folder on 1 server to server.  example: server 1 e:test server2 f:test.

i keep whole shabang in tact (permissions, etc...) from test folder , subfolders intact.  not want inherit permissions parent destination drive.  basically, test folder should not inherit permissions drive f:.  should use robocopy or xcopy or solution? if either can job, can provide example command line?  tried testing cant seem right.  i'll either test folder, test folder subfolders no files or doesnt copy.  ive notice on output logs , using robocopy gui, these access denied errors.  need edit registry in order this? ive read somewhere may need done.  suggestions appreciated.

thanks!!

hi

no idea if 'correct' way it, , annoyingly still have fiddle shares, have scheduled task doing pretty describe. command line use follows:

robocopy.exe e:\test\ f:\test\ /copyall /dcopy:t /mir /r:6 /w:60 /e /zb /mt:30 /log+:e:\miref.log /xx /v

obviously you'll need edit source , destination fields , log file output directory/path/name

as scheduled task had ensure checked 'run highest privileges' checkbox or failed (on server 2008r2).
