Hi guys,

Currently i use backup exec which backups to folder to site (a). Because i back up Mon-Thur (incremental) then Friday x 4 (full) I fun out of disc space when it gets to the 2nd Friday for example. So my plan was to use Robocopy every Saturday to move and delete at source the Friday backups only to site (b). I set this going yesterday but because the file is around 170-200gb i am getting the resource error 1450. I have made changes to regedit and awaiting to see if it will work although with the file size being so large i will have to wait like 4 hours.

Just wondering if you guys use any programs to manage scheduled file moves? This has to delete once completely moved. I would stick with robocopy but i cannot rely on not getting this error thus backups failing.

Thanks.
 
Cant say i really use anything other than robo copy incorporated with powershell to do hash checking on some files once completed copying.

im sure there are quite a few alternatives, maybe have a look here LINK
