    Hi,

    You can make the following operation for minimize the time without EV :

    - Make a first copy of your EV Index in the new location

    - Stop all EV services

    - Make a robocopy of your EV Index in the new location for copy only the delta

    - Use SQL Query for update the path

    - Start all EV services

    Regards,

    Thank you Titoine31.

    I will test this in our test environment first and check if this works.

    By the way, is /MIR the correct parameter for delta only robocopy?

      Yes, it is ;-)

      You can use something like that : Robocopy <source> <destination> /MIR /R:3 /W:3 /Log+:c:\temp\IndexCopy.log

        Thank you again.

         

        I tried these steps but maybe I am missing something.

        Is this the correct query for updating the path after the robocopy:

         

        Spoiler

        Update IndexRootPathEntry

        Set IndexRootPath = '\\servernew\path\Index1'

        where IndexRootPath = '\\serverold\path2\Index1'
