Hello,
Got a 2003 server at site A that needs 3 shares moving to a 2008 server at site B.
The internet connection at both sites is terrible, 2Mb at site A and 6mb at site B. So copying the files over the network does not seem a good idea.
The total amount of data is 14Gb.
What's the best way to copy the 3 shares to an external USB hard drive and move them to the new server.
I need a process that copies the files and folders permissions to the USB hard drive and then copies over to the new server at site b.
I can recreate the shares on the new server at site B, its only 3 after all. Its the permissions on the files and folders that's important.
I was thinking to unshare the folders on the server and use something like robocopy to copy the files to the USB hard drive ?
Any advice/info would be great.
Thanks
