I have 2 - Win 2003R2 server that do DFSR services (63 GB folder) between US and Asia. I need to move them to 2 - Win2012 R2 Servers and remove the Win2K3 servers. Pre-seeding is key...!
For pre-seeding, can I use an ArcServe backup server to backup the folder to tape and then Restore the folder to the new location...?
OR...
RoboCopy...? My understanding is to pre-seed, the copy program must copy the main folder AND files/subfolders. I see robocopy can copy files/subfolders, but what if there are other folders at the same level as the folder I want to copy...?
Say I have D:\data\dfsr and D:\data\apps and D:\data\forms. How do I tell robocopy to copy D:\data\dfsr to d:\ and it copy the folder DFSR and files\subfolders...?
robocopy D:\data\dfsr d: will copy the data in dfsr and not the folder itself..?
All help is greatly appreciated,
Thank... Tom
