Are you sure compression is actually off for all folders Are there any hard-links - as in files being copied multiply as they have multiple names in the folder structure for just 1 physical allocation on the partitions space allocation.
Have you checked that the 'Recycle' bin is empty Try using something like treesize-free to get a report of the actual space allocation for the files the system believes are on that partition. JimB From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kelsey, John Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 2015 12:23 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [NTSysADM] Robocopy Question Robocopying a drive from a physical Win 2008 (32bit) server to a virtual Win 2008 R2 Server. 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.
