Robocopy leaves some NTFS permissions behind?

And so does emcopy and icacls /save & /restore doesn’t work either…

Googling doesn’t help – every solution that promises to work, doesn’t.

Solution?

ALWAYS USE THE /B SWITCH!

Sorry for shouting, but I’m really rather excited to have cracked this major show stopper for my clients data migration.  The /B switch uses the Backup right to perform the copy.  That’s presumably running with system level privs, rather than my meager admin account in cmd run as administrator.  Magic.  Data integrity restored!  Professional reputation saved!

Note: Use /TIMFIX with /B to correct non-copying of datestamps on files, resulting in 02/01/1980 datestamps on all files copied with /B Backup rights.
