I basically need to copy data between servers on a regular basis as
upgrade/migrate tasks. I do not need to retain any security as the data I
move is usually across untrusted domains.
I like to use robocopy with mirror copy options so I can copy all data a few
days before the migration date, then run it again to mirror the data on
migration day to reduce the data transfer time. When I use robocopy I have
had problems where the administrator has no permissions to some folders and
have to spend hours taking ownership, etc. to copy them.
If I use windows backup I need to backup to an intermediate backup file and
then do a separate restore which kind of doubles the data transfer time.
If I could run robocopy or a similar utility as a backup operator this would
give me the benefits of both. Or does someone know of a freeware tool to do
this kind of operation.
Thanks for any help.
