I would take a look at Secure Copy. Its not free but it will let you do phased migrations.

I have a directory that contains 2,000 folders. &nbsp;Each of those folders contains subfolders and files. &nbsp;I need to move all this data in phases to an alternate drive. &nbsp;I would like to perform the move in phases, about 500 folders each phase. &nbsp;What are my options to do so? &nbsp;RichCopy does not seem to work and allow me to check these folders, it appears to become unresponsive while setting up the job. &nbsp;I believe I'm left with robocopy or other similar command. &nbsp;Is there any way to include the list of subfolders in a script and only copy those over with /copyall command? &nbsp;I understand that Robocopy does 1 directory at a time - if I just create a batch file with 500 lines of robocopy commands with each containing the specific directory, will this work?
