Default robocopy question related to files that are shared


Hi. I would like to robocopy our entire Users directory
(which is shared) from a SCSI-attached array to a fiber-
attached array, all while maintaining the shares AND using
the same exact directory structure. What is the best way
to do this?

Do you want syntax? Just run robo with the /mir switch, and the subfolder
switch against users directory.

With the usual caveat that the /MIR switch can be lethal if you already have
files on the destination folder

you could always add the /L switch to see what exactly will be
copied/deleted before going just with /MIR.
