Windows 32BIT Box (Server OS) 4GB RAM a 800GB LUN Mapped to the above box as a local drive Around 700GB of text files (Yes text files and a few thousand word documents) nested in thousands of directories.

I need to move this to a new storage and map another server to it.

What would be the best way to go about it ?

What I did was mapped the existing LUN to our new box and mapped a LUN from the New storage to the new box too, and tried copying (windows copy) but that wasn't good / fast enough considering the downtime.

I am now looking for either a script which will do this or a utility (prefer opensource / free) to move this size of data at a good speed.

2 x 1GB Nics teamed > ether channel 2GBPs

Any suggestions or pointers would be off great help Thanks !
