[QUOTE="rman, post: 72236, member: 23"] If you are worried about file permissions and date, here is what you can do. You will need to fire up a terminal window. You will need to issue a few unix commands. First you will need to move to the directory/folder where the data resides. Using the cd comand (change directory). An example of this is cd /Volumes/Mac HD/users/rman. Then you issue this command to copy all of the data to your firewire drive (/Volumes/firewire drive. find . -depth -print | cpio -pmudv /Volumes/firewire_drive The find command will locate all files starting where you are seating and including all subdirectories/subfolders. The cpio command will copy all of the files found by the find command, save the dates and file permissions. Also it will copy all the files/documents into the /Volumes/firewire_drive. Please note, if you create a directory/folder on the firewire drive add that to the copy path. [/QUOTE]
