Re: robocopy - very large migration

Hello

We are planning to use robocopy to move an exceptional amount of data to a new server. We are migrating from Windows Server 2000 to Windows 2003 Server. We have used robocopy successfully in the past, but never with anything close to this amount of data.

Unfortunately we are talking about 480G of data, all under 1 share point. The share point is also a little tricky. The share was created at the Volume. So, for example...E: is shared as ShareName and all users point to this root share.

Please let me know your thoughts and if you see any issues based on your experience using RoboCopy.

Thank you,

Mark Clark


robocopy is cool. migrated around 200gb of data no probs. It can keep security too, so you should only have to set up the share.
