What is the command syntax of EMCopy with spaces in Share name

can we see the syntax

emcopy_v4.12.exe \\172.16.100.123\Scanned%20Medical%20Records\ \\172.16.101.28\Scanned%20Medical%20Records\ /o /a /secfix /i /s /d /r:3 /w:10 /th 256 /c /purge  /stream /TEE /log+:c:\windows\temp\EMcopy-medicalrecords.txt

emcopy_v4.12.exe \\172.16.100.123\Scanned Medical Records\ \\172.16.101.28\Scanned Medical Records\ /o /a /secfix /i /s /d /r:3 /w:10 /th 256 /c /purge  /stream /TEE /log+:c:\windows\temp\EMcopy-medicalrecords.txt

emcopy_v4.12.exe "\\172.16.100.123\Scanned Medical Records\" "\\172.16.101.28\Scanned Medical Records\" /o /a /secfix /i /s /d /r:3 /w:10 /th 256 /c /purge  /stream /TEE /log+:c:\windows\temp\EMcopy-medicalrecords.txt

I have tried all 3 ways and none of them are recognized the share name

I got it working I had to get rid of the \ at the end of the share name

thanks dynamox

Hi

What is the purpose of /stream switch

Thanks,

Damal

The "/stream" option enables the copies of files and directories datastreams.

Without that option only the main datastream of files are copied.

use dir /R to view if your files have any associated streams. If you see file name followed by colon, ie: program.exe:zone$DATA , that means there is an extra stream created for files.

Thank you Dynamox.

From the info that you gave and I also looked up for what Alternate Data Streams online, i think i understood what it is. I came across many emcopy scripts and i never came across /stream handler. So is it recommended to use it all the time or is there a case you can tell me where we need to use that specific handler.

honestly i have never used that option myself and I've migrated tons of physical servers to Celerra/VNX without issues. Do you have any Apple users ?

Nope. Never had Mac users. I guess that's what is is, windows compatibility with Mac.

Thank you Rainer.
