Default How to: Copy/restore faxes from one Vista PC to a new one?

Here is the two different Vista showing the permissions of the same TIFF
file properties under Security tab. They look pretty much the same to
me.
I don't know much about that Fax user, but has got equal rights like
Administrators.

I think it's a permissions issue and that you haven't created identical user
accounts/passwords on each machine. It doesn't matter that one of the
Vistas is running in a virtual machine.

So I would:

1. Create a matching user account and password on both machines. Example:
superfreak for the user and 1234 for the password. It doesn't matter, it
just needs to match.

2. Then add the Fax group to that user's memberships.

3. Copy the files to that user's home directory and check the permissions.
If they need to be adjusted, take ownership of them as previously detailed.
