We moved about 4TB of data incrementally using the Robocopy.bat file
mentioned in this article

There are switches in there that allow you to do a dry run (without
physically copying the files), to check on permissions etc.

We do a second pass with Robocopy for verification.

So I just want some opinions to make sure I'm not missing out on
anything:

I need to copy off about 150GB of data, around 2 million files, from one
server to another, and preferably not sit and babysit the process from
start to finish since it'll be running over the Christmas holiday.  Is
ROBOCOPY still my best friend for this?  Or is there a JoeWare special
or something else I'm not aware of that people like a lot better these
days?

What are folks using to do a verify-after-copy, to be sure that what you
copied is actually what you -think- you copied?
