robocopy <source> <dest> /mir /r:1 /w:10 /sec As a scheduled task, too. Repeat as necessary until you're ready to switch everyone over. Retries once on a problem, and waits 10 seconds between retries. I used it to stage data that was being in use from direct storage to our SAN. dat store is only about 500 GB, though. Final pass took about 5 minutes when I was able to take everyone off line and minimize downtime.
