Hello,

I have a file share containing ~25 Cr files stored in single folder. The drive size is 9 TB & the average size of files is 15KB. I want to replicate the drive to DR side. But as the file count is huge its taking very long time to compare & copy the data. Also, most of time the process is getting stuck.

I tried normal copy, robocopy, free file sync, ftp. All the solutions are taking very high time. Can anyone suggest me any good solution to accomplish the task?

Regards,

    Hello,

    Perhaps you could use multi-threaded feature with Robocopy, it allows you to copy multiple files concurrently.

    Here's the detailed steps:

    Hello @Karlie Weng

    Yes. The MT parameter was already tried but was not fruitful. Rather than using robocopy, I am looking for any GUI based tool which can make the task easy.
