I used the following MIR SEC B R:1 W:2 XO FFT XO was to copy changes after an initial sync and FFT for timestamps I also had to use SECFIX initially as I forgot to mirror permissions however this doesnt work with the XO switch and will cause everything to copy.Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts Log in sign up User account menu 11 Is robocopy still the go to for file movement.
Just checking if there is anything better out there. We are moving off net app. I need to get several shares of the netapp and on to a Windows dfs. I used robocopy last night for one of shares and it was painfully slow. Unfortunately that is the smallest share I have. Any tips on robocopy or a alternatives would be greatly appreciated. ![]() Upvoted This thread is archived New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast Sort by best level 1 Comment deleted by user 4 years ago 1 child level 2 1 point 4 years ago Im pretty sure the developer pops in and out of here from time to time. I definitely recommend Bvckup2. Sr. Sysadmin 8 points 4 years ago Robocopy with the mt switch for multithreaded copying should help. Also Ive never really done a Big Bang move of a large dataset with robocopy all at once. You can run your initial copy to get the majority of data and then the diff at the time of cutover. If you are copying to or from a Linux file system make sure you use the fft switch Linux and ntfs timestamps are not handled the same and the diff wont work right. Other options if you dont want to use robocopy are richcopy, emccopy, securecopy. Continue this thread level 1 Pragmatic Sysadmin 5 points 4 years ago Thats 13.8MBs, not massive speed but fast enough that it doesnt look like you have a 100Mbps bottleneck somewhere. Is the problem that you need to move the shares during quiet hours and thats too long When Ive had that Ive used rsync to do live copies, throttled during daylight hours, and done that several times over. ![]() Im sure Robocopy will do incremental copies as well, not sure how it compares to rsync for speed. Teracopy Vs Robocopy Free Tool ThatsPS WTF Google I put 400GB8 hours in the search box and it put the MBs figure in the drop down before I even searched it.) level 1 6 points 4 years ago Doesnt EMC have a free tool thats supposed to be amazing Never used it myself. Edit: Found a thread discussing it level 2 Security Admin 1 point 4 years ago I came here to recommend this. I did quite a bit of research when our file shares needed to be moved to a new system. Two more recommendations::mfctips.com20131101robocopy-vs-richcopy-vs-syncback-vs-emcopy And a bit of a how to: level 1 7 points 4 years ago Might get hate but I love using Teracopy. Its a big improvement, but I dont know if it triggers server-side copies, I havent checked. It has some nice features Windows copy doesnt, but speed isnt one of them. Continue this thread level 1 7 points 4 years ago rsync all the time. Im shocked at how many disparate copy files from here to there utilities Windows has, each lacking this or that feature. Robocopy only goes slow for me when Im trying to copy files AND all the other attributes. How many cpu core to cpu core are you using, what network link and what drive configurations are you using Bare in mind you will be limited by the lowest denominator there.
