or moved, and whether the data is coming from the same volume or a

different one. So, we need to consider four situations:

• Copying data within one NTFS-based volume

• Moving data within one NTFS-based volume

• Copying data between two NTFS-based volumes

• Moving data between two NTFS-based volumes

Let’s look at a list of four things techs need to know to see what happens

when you copy or move an object, such as a file or folder.

1. Copying within a volume creates two copies of the object. The copy

of the object in the new location inherits the permissions from that

new location. The new copy can have different permissions than the

original.

2. Moving within a volume creates one copy of the object. That object

retains its permissions, unchanged.

3. Copying from one NTFS volume to another creates two copies of the

object. The copy of the object in the new location inherits the

permissions from that new location. The new copy can have different

permissions than the original.

4. Moving from one NTFS volume to another creates one copy of the

object. The object in the new location inherits the permissions from

that new location. The newly moved file can have different

permissions than the original.

From a tech’s standpoint, you need to be aware of how permissions can

change when you move or copy files. If you’re in doubt about a sensitive file,

check it before you sign off to a client. Table 13-1 summarizes the results of

moving and copying between NTFS volumes.
