Copying data from server

I cannot copy the folder from old server to new. I have got all permission for  all folders. The folders are too deep. So I need to to go inside the folder and have to copy data .Only  by reducing the depth of the folder I am able to copy the data. But this takes like halfa day to copy all the data. Is there any other software  to copy data from the server ( to copy deep folders)

Don't you have any past backups or is this information not important enough to backup?

The quickest way to do this is to restore an existing full backup and then perform a new differential backup and restore that.

I dont have any past back ups. Actually the scenario is  we installed one temp server in site. Recently we installed new one .... so now i have to copy all the datas from the old server to the new one.
Robocopy is pretty fast and it will keep all the NTFS permissions on the folders as well.

Robocopy is a utility you can download and has been available for download since at least NT4, over 10 years ago.

Storage

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
