Keep SYS folders from always being copied by Migration Wizard

Q:
I'm gearing up for switching our main NetWare 6.0 file and print server to a new box running NetWare 6.5 this weekend. The new server is in a temp tree and all should be set to go. I've run the Migration Wizard twice - the first time I dropped one volume to the destination server just to see how it would go, and it copied fine, plus some of the folders on the SYS volume were copied. Now I just tested it again - only dropped one folder on the destination server - and it's copying those folders on SYS again. I believe I went through this last year with a previous version of the wizard. Does anyone know why it does this? It doesn't give you an option to bypass this situation in subsequent copies.
A:
You can expand the SYS volume and backout the dropped folders if you don't want to copy them.
It does this automatically so that you don't accidentally copy over the new NetWare files in the same directories on the destination. If you don't want them to copy, just back them out via the tree browser.
