Windows 2000/2003 :What is the fasted way of coping files between servers
|
|
|
| hi all,
We are moving old server to new server. I am using robocopy command to
transfer data from old server to new server. But its taking long time
to copy all data (42GB took 9 hours). I am copying over the network by
mapping old machine share to new machine.
Is there better command or procedure to copy files, I want to minimize
the transfer time.
Thanks

| FTP is by far faster then SMB. Start the IIS's FTP server and use FTP.EXE
on the client - works very fast.

How about just restoring from backup to the new location, assuming your
backup software is capable of maintaing ACLs etc.

Try running multiple robocopy streams concurrently each working on
different sections of the data.

| currently pulling the data, next time will run multiple robocopy
concurrently.

| We have had success with cutting up large files with dd or split and scping
them across the network in parallel, then recombining them on the other
side. cat piece1 piece2 piece3 > total If you do cksum on each side you
can be sure that you have reassembled
them correctly.
