Peter, We have run FoxBase+, FoxPro for DOS, VFP5, VFP9 RTM, and VFP9 SP2 apps on Windows Server 2003 and 2008 without problem in a non-virtualized environment. I copy database and index files to and from Windows XP, Vista, and 7 (though not often between servers) routinely without problem.
Could your problem be with the copy method rather than the environment? Are the tables and indexes being accessed or modified during the copy process?

We want to move to either 2008 server or preferably 2012 server. The app has a DBC and DBFs and has been running happily for over 10 years. The problem we have when transferring the data over to a virtualised 2008 or 2012 server is that we get index corruption once or more a day. We then have to move the data back. We have tried a few different configurations but do not know why this is happening. I just want to check what servers people are using for their networked VFP app and any problems (or not) they have had. Please let me know what version of windows you are using and what version of VFP and if the server is virtualised or not.
