Robocopy on Windows Server 2012 r2 syntax
Hello Experts,
I need to copy over an entire drive from one server to another. I wanted to use Robocopy and tried the following
robocopy \\servername\G$ \\servername\g$
I get page file error (page in use)
so I tried
robocopy \\servername\G$ \\servername\g$ /XF pagefile.sys but it only copied over some of the folders and data.
What is the correct syntax?
thanks!

Thanks! I will try this tomorrow. The one switch I don't see is to skip over files in use? (Page file in use) is this available?

Thanks for your help! Got them copied over but still missed a lot of files plus it took 2.5 hours. We are looking for the best solution for DR. Is it possible to mount a network drive. This is possible on Windows server 2012 r2?

Why not use DFS if you want DR for data. Its not the best solution out there perhaps, but its reliable enough, comes with windows and incrementally updates files as data changes, plus if server A fails, it will keep running on the name space using server B. I suppose this is for user data, not full system backups.
