We moved about 4TB of data incrementally using the Robocopy.bat file mentioned in this article
http://www.windowsitpro.com/Articles/Print.cfm?ArticleID=20134 There are switches in there that allow you to do a dry run (without physically copying the files), to check on permissions etc. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thommes, Michael M.

Thommes Argonne National Laboratory -----Original Message----- From: Hunter, Laura E. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2004 11:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Slightly OT: File Copy of Death 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?
