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

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.
