Problems with ROBOCOPY?

[void]

Anyone experiencing problems using ROBOCOPY to PUSH files to another
location?

What do you mean by push? I use robocopy all the time with no real problems
once I figure out the syntax I need. Are you talking about /MOV ?

Yea, ran it on Server 1 and tried to MOVE the structure to Server 2, but
it would die and hang on Server 1 and never stop the process - even a
END PROCESS would not kill it.

If I ran the move from Server 2 pulling from Server 1 it worked fine,
was able to start/stop, and never failed. It fails ever time I try and
push from Server 1 to Server 2.

What about doing a regular copy job first, (run it twice to make sure you
didn't skip anything) and then trying again w/mov?

Copy works fine, for the period that I let it run - there are 490+ GB of
files to move every evening. The idea was that the Server 1, when
finished with backups, could spawn the RoboCopy job right after
finishing the backups. As it is, the Server 2 will have to start the job
on it's end after a time where we're sure the backups should have
completed.
