Hi Experts
Recently I have been doing a lot of work in Robocopy on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box. We are migrating Terabytes of data and I am looking at ways of increasing performance.
Recently I saw this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2646535?wa=wsignin1.0
My main concern in moving this data is to make sure that all data is preserved. That I have a 1 to 1 copy. With the hotfix applied I can choose /DCOPY:A which copies across Directory Attributes. But does not copy across Directory Data.
My question is what is Directory Data? Do I need it? How can I check I have Directory Data?
Currently we are running Robocopy in a way that makes just the directories with /DCOPY:DA (retaining the directory data) and then later populating the folders using a robocopy using /DCOPY:A.
Thanks in advance
