I created a backup image of my internal drive a few years back. This image lives on an external drive (Drive A). I purchased a larger external drive (Drive B). When I try to copy my image (.tbi) file from A to B, I get permissions errors. Could someone point me to some info that might help me successfully migrate my image from one drive to another?
Here is the error I get when just trying to copy the folder from external drive A to external drive B
Further, when I do attempt copy my Terabyte folder (with .tbi file inside), it does create an empty folder on the new drive (drive B). However, I can't even delete this new folder, due to more permissions errors. For this empty folder, I've attempted to give all authenticated users the complete range of permissions, but I still can't even delete it. Any help is appreciated.
Here is a screenshot, regarding the permissions I modified on that empty folder on Drive B:

Re: Migrate .tbi image to a new local drive
Use the TAKEOWN command -
TAKEOWN /F “<filename>”
Example (file)...
TAKEOWN /F "E:\Backup\MyTBI"
Example (folder)...
TAKEOWN /F "E:\Backup"
TAKEOWN /F “<filename>”
Example (file)...
TAKEOWN /F "E:\Backup\MyTBI"
Example (folder)...
TAKEOWN /F "E:\Backup"

This worked! The "manual method" was easy and effective. I just stopped protectit and then restarted it after I made my changes.TeraByte Support wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2024 3:02 am See https://www.terabyteunlimited.com/kb/kb ... ps-folder/
(Also a thank-you to OldNavyGuy; I'll use your solution on a separate problem I'm working on.)
