Backup w/o Read Only?
Thank you for your help. Problem solved.

I am backing up about three years of e-mails. I have put them into chronological folders of about 100 megs or less. Because of the size of all of the e-mail I have tried to use the single folder back up approach to back up the 2003 May June folder, then the 2003 Jul Aug folder etc. After I transfered several dbx files to a compact disk I checked them to make sure they were not read only. They were archive. But when I put the cd into the other machine and tried to copy them to that machine to confirm that I had correctly backed them up, several of them appear to have become "read only" somewhere along the way. Any suggestions as to how to prevent the switch from "archive" to "read only" from occurring?
