Replicate / SYNC / Copy thousands of files
- by rihatum
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 !
