Hi Toasters,
we're in the process of consolidating NT file services on a NetApp Filer. We
have an F810 where we want to store all our user's data which is now spread
across multiple servers, some of which are close to being maxed out. We now
have the problem of moving all the data while we're still servicing our
users - we're on 24/7 here. We found that copying the data to the filer is
painfully slow; we're suspecting that NT ACLs might be the culprit. We've
tried robocopy, secure copy and xxcopy to no avail - moving a small part of
the total data took 15 hours. Anybody out there willing to share their
experiences with moving several hundreds of GB across the network? We need
to keep NT permissions, obviously. On the mailing list I saw references to
Fastlane and Aelita's SCW - any experience with those or other 3rd party
products?
Greetings and thanks in advance
Bernhard
