The problem may be that there are so many entries in the MFT that the OS is 
paging (like mad) in order to build the list of files to pass to Robocopy.

Start task manager and check in drive usage and memory paging

Subject: [NTSysADM] syncing millions of files in a folder

 

looking for what people use to sync/copy folders that have millions of files in 
them. we have one such folder that i used to copy with robocopy. It would blat 
me the additional changes for that day. Worked great for a few years. It 
stopped working a while ago and i can't seem to restart it. robocopy from a 
command line just sits there forever.

What has anyone else tried for this type of process?

thanks
dave
