Preserve Current Paths before rolling out new Pathauto Alias I'm just about to roll out a new Pathauto Alias to include a new taxonomy term, which will modify about 1000 nodes. Is there a way to preserve the current path aliases I have now, and then bulk update all my nodes to the new pattern? 

I assume I'll need to use Path Redirect in conjunction with Global Redirect somehow to keep the old paths pointing to the new paths?

Thanks!
To preserve AND redirect existing aliases when you implement a change like that:


install the Path Redirect module
open the 'Automated Alias Settings' in URL Aliases (admin/build/path/pathauto)
open the 'General' fieldset
change the radio button for 'Update action' to 'Create a new alias. Redirect from old alias' (see screenshot below).
