Would be tough to verify terabytes of data didn't have any errors ;) From: Ziots, Edward [mailto:ezi...@lifespan.org] Sent: Monday, February 4, 2013 1:23 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Robocopy reliability
Yeah I have to agree, never had a problem with Robocopy and the mirror command or any of the switches and done terabytes of data copies with this utility. Z Edward E.

I have *never* seen that. Sounds more like something he heard through a grapevine vs. experienced directly. I'd wager if pressed for details on this opinion he will be short on specifics.

Eluding to the fact that he's seen robocopy copy files that turned out to be not the same as the original. We're not doing anything complex. We want to copy some files from source control and catch deleted files at the same time. So instead of deleting the entire destination folder and copying new files from source control. I'm saying it's as simple as robocopy /mir and that's it. That way whatever file is removed from source control will get removed on the destination servers as well.

Just this past weekend I migrated a pretty complex old Windows 2008 server shared to Windows 2008 R2 this past weekend. I didn't copy permissions since they were a mess. The only errors I've seen were my own, usually syntax or spelling. What are you trying to do? From: Tigran K [mailto:tigr...@gmail.com<mailto:tigr...@gmail.com>] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2013 11:34 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Robocopy reliability Having a discussion with the boss on how we should do something I suggested robocopy. His reply was a strict "NO". Reasoning was that it's not reliable. He said "I've seen it break". So my question is have you seen it break? Is robocopy any more or less reliable than built in copy? I did point out that robocopy is built in to windows as well at least for Windows7.
