You don't say, and I have never tried this, but what if you just unplug the drive from box a and plug it into box b. &nbsp; Even if you have to put it in an external USB enclosure. &nbsp;Copying from there should be faster than over the network.<br />
<br />
I know you would have to rereate the shares, but maybe that is not a big deal in this migration.

Hi Guys<br />
<br />
I'm in the final phase of a SBS2003 - &gt;&nbsp;SBS2011 migration.<br />
I have over 300GB of data to migrate, what is the best way of doing this besides using robocopy or is that the only route?<br />
<br />
Would ntbackup work with the restore tool or doesnt sbs2011 support the process anymore?
