Hi All,
Can anyone here please suggest me what is the best suggested tools to migrate the existing NTFS VaultStore partition drives to CIFS share realiably ?
with my current Robocopy script (executed on WIndows Server 2003 on EV 9):
robocopy.exe V: "\\DD_CIFS_SHARE\Vault1_Pt6" *.* /xd "L:\System Volume Information" /xd L:\RECYCLER\ /e /xo /zb /copy:DTS /r:0 /w:0 /fp /nfl /ndl /np /tee /log:"S:\Temp\robocopy.log"
I cannot copy the entire closed vaultstore to the CIFS share with the following error:
So I need some help and suggestion on this matter.
Thanks

Yes I can create the folder in the CIFS share root directory, since the EV service account is granted as Read & write.
The batch script is executed using the EVService account where I am remotely connect tothe server using Windows RDP.

Thanks Merv,
Where do I have to remove the inheritable permission from ? if it is on the NTFS source drive, I'm afraid to broke EV even more :\ since there is no rollback plan.
I have already include the permission /COPY:DTS parameter on the script above.
I've just checked again, the number of file copy error is still in Millions, not decreasing into 0 just yet for the second copy.

John,
yes modifying anything like permissions can be a pain and risky if not done exactly the way it should Firsly what are inheritable permisions, it's a microsoft NTFS permissions option which allow permissions to inherit from the parent folder as opposed to explicit permissions on an object. If you do a copy you are copying the inheritable permissions and if you also choose apply to child objects they are written on all folders and files explicits.You can check microsoft website on how they work and how to change them to not inherit.
Some troubleshooting steps:
1. test this out for a test folder. Create a copy of on small sub folders i.e. Vault Stiore ptnxx\2012\01-01\00\01A
2. try to do a manual copy of that folder in windows explorer - does it work?
3. try to do robocopy of that sub-folder using your original ropy options - does it work?
result - Works
- if it does I did some further research and could be robocopy from root of the drive does not work.

result - NO - same error
- remove inheritable permissions on that folder - uncheck it and choose ADD which will add the inheritable permissions as explicit permissions on this object.
- select replace all child object permssions with inheritable permssions from this object

ok, the transfer speed seems to be very slow.
Does the following Registry on Windows Server 2003 and 2008 can speed up Robocopy process ?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
Value =DisableTaskOffload
Type = DWORD
Data = 1
Value =EnableTCPChimney
Type = DWORD
Data = 0
Value =EnableTCPA
Type = DWORD
Data = 0
Value =EnableRSS
Type = DWORD
Data = 0

Yeah, it is on VM. My EV 9 server is Windows Server 2003

Merv,
Yes I have turn it off already.
No, is that even possible ? to use the Robocopy binary copied from Windows Server 2012 R2 and then copy it into WIndows Server 2003 ?

Unfortunately, i cannot execute it, see the error below:
The image file C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\Robocopy.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine.
