Hi!
We have linux (ubuntu), with lot of users, ext3 filesystem and samba shareing.
All user access their data through samba.
Now we want migrate to alfresco.

I have installed new alfresco on other server and it's working.

How can we simply migrate all users and their data to alfresco shareing (mandatory thing is that file owners and file dates (created date, modified date..) must stay as they are)

thank you!

Hi hkusulja …? … ! .. 😉
Have you tried a simple backup/restore with a mapped CIFS drive ? After restore, switching drive letters via Startup script or (if you have ADS), via policy, and it could be done whith.

Hmmm … yoiu could try out robocopy from Microsoft, that can copy NTFS rights. Maybe that works Smiley Happy
