Found some large nested folders that were in fact compressed. I'll have to run the copy in smaller chunks and compress on the destination as I go.
Thanks all!

There is some sort of duplication going on. If nothing is compressed (and 30GB worth would be a lot), thats the likely explanation of the additional space used. -- Espi On Tue, Mar 24, 2015 at 5:23 AM, Joseph L.

Source drive (dynamic disk) is 500GB with about 150GB free space. Compression is not turned on. Destination drive (basic disk) is 500GB, and its empty Both drives have the same bytes per sector and cluster. Issue is the robocopy fills the destination drive completely and then fails with about maybe 30GB to go. Why does the data take more space on the destination than on the source? Is it because the destination disk is only a 'basic' disk? Thanks all and Happy Monday :/ *************************************** John C.
