I've never had an issue with the reliability of RoboCopy. I have used ScriptLogic's Secure Copy, which I believe is now a Dell product through the Quest acquisition. Great, product, but I wouldn't say it was more reliable, just easier to use and had a few specific features that we liked. One of which was the multi-threaded option. At that time, RoboCopy didn't have the /MT switch.

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. Didn't seem to help. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ----------------------------------------- This message, and any attachments to it, may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
