Best Practices for Migrating Files with Robocopy

[@yourrick]

GREAT video. Great sound quality. Great information.

I got burned with robocopy couple of times. the /XJ option is important, so are the retry and wait options. the copy:all is tricky. If you are migrating files to a new user, then you DEFINATELY don't want permissions and ownership transferred. you want the current ALCs to take over the copied files. But if you are "cloning" a volume type of situation then you definitely want the copy:all.

Great tutorial, but my gripes... Have the commands in the description box. It's a standard now-a-days. How in the world is /MON & /MOT going to work if I were to run this via commandline? Otherwise wouldn't it be redundant to run this as a batch-script and scheduled through Task Scheduler? Also the /MIR command should be said with "CAUTION"! work within an empty directory to practice with, because it has behavior of removing files to compliment the command!

Thank you for the video, short, informative and to the point.

I've got a computer that's going to need either a format & reinstall or thrown out, but I'm trying to copy files from the HDD to a flash drive using the command window option found during advanced start up. So far I've copied the files I need & then shut off the computer using the option in the advanced start up menu. When I take the flash drive & put it on another computer to view the files, I can see all of them there & listed properly. However none of them work when opened. Which parameter am I missing? I believe I used E, copyall, and create.

I want to migrate one Drive to another Drive in Windows 2012 r12 Server. Exact copy with all permission, hidden files, etc.... It is lke 200GB of information. Whant sintax would you recomment? (E: Old Drive and G: New Drive) NTFS fs.

robocopy "e:\Shares\" "g:\shares\" /copyall /E /Z /MT:12 /R:0 /W:0 /LOG:c:\temp\migration.log Adjust paths and MT amount to suit your environment. Look through logs for failed files. Try and do the migration out of hours so less likely to have files open.

/DCOPY:T is also very important to copy the directory timestamps.

[@bennguyen1313]

In the case where the file exists on the destination folder, is there a way to rename the file (auto-increment a number) you are trying to copy before it is copied over?

Love robocopy. I didn't even pay attention to threads before. I hate the Linux commands so I use a windows pc to do it even from Linux to Linux. It is but itsucks that it takes up my windows pc during the tranzfer

Thanks Don!

It was a good start to ROBOCOPY. But just a start. Doesn't mean it wasn't worthwhile. I'm not saying I didn't like it. I upvoted it.
