Is there a limit to the number of simultaneous Robocopy sessions that can be run? I am not looking for the obvious limit of system resources, but rather if there are issues that arise from multiple sessions and what number of sessions are safe. Is there an official Microsoft reccomendation?

Thanks

As long as they are not operating on the same folders, and use different log
file, the limit is simply resources.

However, if multiple sessions use folders that are on the same physical drive,
you will get lots of seeks, making the process slower than a serial
implementation.
