Give robocopy a try <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocopy" rel="ugc">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocopy</a>.<br />
<br />
Else you can always image your drive using something like acorns true image and restore to your data folder or use the universal restore option. <br />
<br />
A less expensive sofatware is macrium reflect.

Robocopy doesn't handle long filenames well.<br />
<br />
An image would be okay - can you take an image of a RAID 5 array?

Thanks Simonseztech. &nbsp;I've since managed to successfully migrate the data without any issues.

I wasn't able to test this, but I have received confirmation from other sources that RAID 5 imaging is possible.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have to replace an old HP ML360 with a not-so-old G4 DL360, which shouldn't be a problem as it's only running as a file server. &nbsp;However, the filenames are too long for me to copy the data over to the new server without causing issues.<br />
<br />
Can I simply add a hard drive from the ML360 to the DL360 so it mirrors across to the other (new) drives?<br />
<br />
If not, what is the best way to migrate this data over?<br />
<br />
Thanks

File Server Data Migration

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.
