data transfer

[qwerty3]

i'm not sure this is the best place to post this.

most of the computers are windows 2000

we have a network file server
we got a new file server.

whey we use windows to copy large directories the copy
tends to crash and the worst thing is that i think it
copies the files in the order that they are stored.. not
alphabetically or anything so i can't simply start another
copy where the last one left off because im not sure where
exactly that is..

anyone know of any good way of migrating the data to the
new server. or how to set up windows to avoid my problem?

(or a better place to post this question)

There is a good copy tool called Robocopy (Robust File Copy). It is in
the Resource Kit which can be downloaded here. Before knowing how to
prevent the file copy "crash" would have to know the process you are
going though and what error you get.
