If you prefer something more GUI oriented rather than robocopy take a
look at RichCopy.

I usually use the Robocopy 2010 version via the command-line, I found
the GUI to be a bit cludgy.

  ROBOCOPY.

  Use the /COPYALL switch to include DACLs (permissions), along with
everything else file-related (SACLs (auditing) might be of interest).

  My usual command line for something like this is:

ROBOCOPY /E /COPYALL /DCOPY:T /NFL /NDL /R:0 /B

  /E = Copy subdirs, including empty ones.

  /DCOPY:T = For directories, copy timestamps.  Otherwise all the
directories end up showing a last modified of today.

  /NFL /NDL = I suppress file and directory lists because I just want
to know about problems.  I already know it's going to be copying
files.  Silence is golden.  But if something goes *wrong*, I want that
to stick out, and not immediately scroll off the screen.

  /R:0 = In most cases, I don't find retries to be useful, so I
disable them.  Usually if a file can't be copied trying again in 30
seconds won't help, and the delay slows everything down considerably.

  /B = Request "backup semantics".  That preserves the "last accessed"
timestamps on the originals.

RE: file copying

2011-06-16 Thread Level 5 Lists 
Yah, maybe it was robocopy I ran through. It was odd, I did a whole shared 
folder that had dozens of sub folders with different ACLs. I watched it for a 
few minutes and then randomly spot checked a few files, it looked good. The 
next business day several people complained they couldn't get to files they 
needed and one of my techs had to go back and reset perms on a lot of them ..

robocopy   /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.

RE: file copying

2011-06-16 Thread Michael B. Smith 
I moved over 6TB for a client earlier this year with robocopy. We moved it in 
stages, but if you have got gigE between the servers, you can run multiple 
robocopies at once, up to the limits of your I/O subsystems.

If you need file diffs, take a look at DeltaCopy and cwRsync.
