richcopy

Has anyone used the MS utility Richcopy before? Trying to copy a lot of data while preserving permissions. Richcopy and robocopy are not getting the permissions even though I am telling them to. XCopy is getting the permissions, its just a lot slower then richcopy.

I tried RichCopy yesterday - ended up going back to RoboCopy since RichCopy does not purge folders that are deleted in the original source.

The 2008 and Windows 7 version of Robocopy is quite nice. Allows for multi threading copies.
