Cloning a hard drive with permissions in order to speed up a P2V migration on a server with a 250GB D: Drive
I'm cloning the D: disk ahead of time to a VMDK, so that when it comes to the P2V Process, I can just do the C: Drive - saving a ton of downtime. I'm doing this while files on the D: Drive are in use, so obviously, those will be skipped doing Robocopy. I'm thinking when I am ready to shut down all the services on the source server, I can just re-run my robocopy command to copy any skipped files and update any security changes. Then P2V the source. My command: robocopy D:\ \\Destination\d$\ /mir /sec /secfix /log:C:\RoboCopyLog.log Sound legit? (I'm very new to RoboCopy - always used other programs. Time to get comfortable with it).
