Thanks for the reply. I have tested moving all of my user files to the new
server using backup exec and it seems to work fine. I believe that doing it
that way will be the easiest. If anyone has other comments about doing this
I would like to hear them.

I used xcopy to do exactly what you are doing. Worked with out a
problem. I had it write at log to a text file incase something
happened. If I remember there was an /o parameter, but I forget.
One switch had to be use to keep permissions.
