Robocopy
I used Robocopy to initially populate my ReadyNAS NV from a windows XP workstation. The total copy size was around 30 GB and I was very happy at the copy performance over my 100MB lan (much faster th...
For what it's worth, I found that just using /FFT wasn't enough. For about the past year, I've used the following switches on my backup script:
/Z /MIR /TBD /FFT /NP /XO
/Z is network restartable
/MIR does a mirror image (can delete all of your information. Test first!)
/TBD waits for the share to be available (I had problems with network name cannot be found).
/NP makes it so that it doesn't show the progress (cleaner logs)
/XO excludes older files.
So the full example is:
robocopy t:\scripts \\NAS\scripts /Z /MIR /TBD /FFT /NP /XO /log+:"C:\Documents and Settings\MyUser\Desktop\robocopylog.txt"
Just figured I'd post my solution in the event that /FFT isn't the end-all solution for your needs.
It's pretty quick too. I can recopy my entire NAS (~150GB, Raid 1) in under 30 mins. I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but Radiator 4 p1 was a lifesaver in terms of file copy. It's back to the speeds pre-R3-p6.
