What I do have is some new storage that is strictly SAN, no NAS thus the need to front end it with a Windows File Server. I have played around with Robocopy including using several different types of command line switches. I could never get a folder full of files to copy while retaining things like ownership and NTFS rights. Is there some way to get Robocopy to work between a Netapp Filer and a Windows File Server and maintain these attributes?</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 09 Jan 2013 10:09:54 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Network-and-Storage-Protocols/Migrate-CIFS-share-from-Netapp-Filer-to-Windows-File-Server/m-p/57534#M5334 HendersonD 2013-01-09T10:09:54Z Re: Migrate CIFS share from Netapp Filer to Windows File Server https://community.netapp.com/t5/Network-and-Storage-Protocols/Migrate-CIFS-share-from-Netapp-Filer-to-Windows-File-Server/m-p/57539#M5335 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>robocopy source dest /E /ZB /COPYALL&nbsp; /R:1 /W:1 /MT:10 </P><P>to get the first load over and then</P><P>robocopy source dest /E /ZB /COPYALL&nbsp; /R:1 /W:1 /MT:10 /MIR</P><P>until the cutover</P><P></P><P>This is a very simplified version, which you can extend to fit your specific needs.
