Robocopy Question.
Hello Guys,
I need to migrate 4TB's of (Enterprise Vault) data from one drive to another. I tried running the following command and after a few hours, I got an "access denied error 0x00000005 system volume" or similar . Both drives are I-SCSI connected, don't think this matters however the window of opportunity to copy the data is limited, as it is a production server.
robocopy t:\ v\: /mir
I need the command to copy all remaining data from T to V without duplicating/over-writing the data and avoiding the permission error.
Thanks in advance,

Correct. The /r:0 will ignore errors, but that includes locked files (in use), and hence should not be used with the final copy. I usually allow for 2 retries and 5 seconds waiting time to allow for temporary issues.

I might also suggest you look at Beyond Compare. It works similar to Robocopy, but is a GUI solution. You can set it to show/copy only the files that are different and why they are different. I have found it gives me a better perspective on how much has to be done.
I am not connected to the product in any way, it just sounds like something that might help accomplish what you are doing.

Hello All,
Thanks for all this great information, i will try again on the weekend. If i use the below option will permissions be copied over as well? The data is archived email, i would like it to remain unchanged after being copied.
Are you aware that even with /mir, you are not copying permissions?
robocopy.exe T:\ V:\ /MIR /NP /R:0 /MT:16 /DCOPY:T /XD "System Volume Information" "$Recycle.Bin" /LOG+:robo_log1.log

No, this will not copy permissions. The question is: do you need to copy the NTFS permissions from the source files to the target files, along with the file contents?

The truth is i'm not entirely sure, but i need the data to be like it is now. Users need to access the data VIA outlook.
