Warning – while ‘ghosting the server is offline. Ghost transfers an image which includes ‘all’ acls including quotas.
Answer 2 – If you have the patience you can use the command line tool ‘Xcopy’ which has the ability to transfer acls.

Answer 3 – Since ‘quotas’ are set at the disk level, do your ‘robocopy’ and then in Windows Explorer right click the drive and reset the value. If you have been so nice as to have different quotas for each user, “No ggod deed goes unpunished.” Set the quotas at the drive level then walk the tree setting individual exceptions. Individual personalization of settings is why most network admins start from “NO!”. ‘Yes’ is nice for the end users but complicates even simple maintenance.

Good luck.

If so you may try to mount the new drive as a folder and that way it should be able to retain all permissions.
