From what I've heard I'd say Robocopy was a good option to take. If you're after a freeware solution though, I can recommend SecondCopy. We use it to mirror some old servers, automatically backup laptop users docs, transfer chunks of files etc with little to no problems.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 November 2004 17:52 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?
