Migrate Nested file shares from a windows server to celerra

I have a windows file server CIFS, this server hosts dirent file shares each one has nested file shares with different access capabilitties I tried to migrate this from windows to a celerra gateway with VMAX using robocopy and none of the share options of the nested filishares were migrated, then I generated a backup using networker and generate a restore on the celerrar and it didn't work, how can I migrate the nested mount file systems with their properties from windows to celerra?

There are two type of „ACLs” on Windows systems

The first type is the file/dir based ACLs – these are stored in the file system and you can copy them using robocopy/emcopy/…

The second on is the share ACLs – they are stored in the registry you need to copy them when creating the share – with Windows tools like rmtshare or EMC sharedup (see Tools&Apps CD)

NO regular backup will restore share ACLs

With NMFS, each component filesystem should have its ACLs at the root of that filesystem.  Your best bet is to use EMCopy at the root of each component filesystem, copying to the right level of the destination filesystem.

In order to copy the share information from source to destination, you could use SHAREDUP which comes with the Tools&Apps CD

Sharedup syntax is described in the "Using EMC Utilities for CIFS" documentation
