I need to move 1.5TB of data from a 2008R2 server to a 2016 ST VM. It's a large store with a lot of sub folders. I need to move everything with permissions. The current plan is to use robocopy.
I use robocopy
robocopy C:\DATA "\\wse2016\c$\Data" /e /zb /Copyall /mir /secfix /sec /efsraw /tee /log+:C:\copy.log
Moves all including apple generated files.
Robocopy works fine but if you have folders with special permissions like redirected folders make sure you use this:
Robocopy D:\Source \\Target /E /SECFIX /SEC /XO /XJ /ZB /COPYALL /MIR /DCOPY:T /R:0 /W:0 /NP /NFL /NDL /TEE /LOG:"C:\Robocopy.log"
The above command can be used for any situation you need to copy data and retain all security but if you need to copy Apple generated files merge the commands from David.
Thanks all. This was supposed to happen last week, but a SQL issue with another app delayed it.
I'm on for this weekend so we will see how it goes!
One of the things you do not want to migrate is the recycle bin so add:
/xd $RECYCLE.BIN
Made the move this past weekend. It went without a hitch. It took 37 hours to move it all. About 1.5TB in all.
