help synching files to a new cifs server

Good morning,

I am in the final stretch of setting up my new cifs servers on an NS-120. I have been using robocopy from the old server to copy the data files to the new server.

Here is my problem: I’d like to run robocopy again, to be sure I have a complete copy, and to catch any changed files, but I cannot enable the /xo function. Everytime I launch robocopy it calls every file in the source “new.” I’ve checked the date stamp and the file size between source and destination files, and they are identical.

Is there a better way to do this? What am I doing wrong? Here is the syntax I am using:

robocopy d:\data \\newserver\newserverroot$ /s /sec /xo /w:5 /r:3 /log:c:\log.txt

Thank you for any advice.

Eve,

add /FFT to your robocopy parameters. Windows looks at time stamps in nanoseconds while Celerra looks at it in milliseconds

Hi Eve,

welcome the forum.

try setting the cifs.nanoroundoff Celerra param or using emcopy

I am attaching EMCOPY for you as another option.  Both the regular and 64 bit versions are included, as well as the usage text.

Thanks.
