Hi G.,
if your target Site is a NEW Vaultsite, then just robocopying won't work, because all the ID's in the EV Database will change.
You should consider using a 3rd Party tool for Migration like ArchiveShuttle or Transvault. This automates also the Migration, but because all Migration Tools are using Export/Import it's not that fast as a simple copy of the Storage Files.
Here a link to some more information regarding Archivshuttle: "http://evtools.net/products/archive-shuttle"
Cheers,
Peter

The fastest software method I have found is RichCopy. It is from Microsoft and it a multithreaded version of Robocopy
I initially started a large copy with robocopy. We got ~500MBs/minute copy rate.
RichCopy is getting ~1.5GB/minute copy rate.
RichCopy command line options are many but easy to set
http://file.serverconsolidator.com/blog/2009/08/11/the-easiest-way-to-prepare-richcopy-command-line-parameters/
Here are the options I used:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Rich Tools\RichCopy 4.0\richcopy.exe" "\\server\f$" "f:" /CDSD /FSD /TSD /TSU /CSA /CSD /CSG /CSO /CSS /P /FC 1024 /R 2 /QO /QP "E:\reportf.log" /UE /UPF /UPC /UPS /UFC /UCS /USC /USS /UPR /UET
"\\server\f$" = source
“f:” = destination

When moving archives (and mailboxes) did you look at TransVault? we use this here, and it is fast, and has good errorchecking.

Thanks Peter, our company is partnered with TransVault, just found out yesterday. BUt if we were to robocopy the databases and indexes over, there shouln't be new ID's created as we are just copying file for file and reconnecting to the new EV server..my bigger concern would be even after the DNS alis switch to the new server, hope that all shortcuts would still work.
