Hi there,
I have a quick question to ask. What program could I use to copy files and folders from one drive to another, but there is a catch. In a few of the folders there are multiple sub folders. The problem I am running into is that there are so many sub folders within sub folders that total commander and xcopy (with /e/c/k/h/o/x switches) keep failing. I was thinking of maybe trying robocopy or unstoppable copier. As you can imagine I haven’t needed to do this kind of copying in a long time so the programs I have are not really up to date :$
The main reason I need to get this done is because one of my drives has failed and I would like to get a recent copy of the data off while my file server is still running. The main issue with this stupid server is that when it got setup a few years ago, the guys who set it up used the Windows software Raid setup as the server didn’t come with a raid controller. I have been trying to get a new server but the CFO has just said when it breaks we will deal with it. Now it is in the breaking process and my backup software (SSR2011) is giving me trouble while trying to backup the server due to the broken raid.
I am going to try one last time with SSR 2011 to see if I can get a backup of the server, but in the mean time I need to try and get this data off but these long file and folder names are giving me trouble 🙁
Anyway ideas on programs to use, or am I going to get it from the users 🙁
Nathan
