Hi, Since windows server 2000, I am using ROBOCOPY to move old files to another drive. Is there a better and modern way in Windows 2008 R2 to do this task? Thank you.

Robocopy http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733145(WS.10).aspx The examples you provided are correct. Also check "Robocopy /B" does not copy the security information such as ACL in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979808 There is a copy program out there called AutoClone that preserves ACLs and copies much faster than Robocopy. ref: http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=69415 Maybe you can also try richcopy http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2009.04.utilityspotlight.aspx?pr=blog

Hi M Fawzi, As I mentioned, Robocopy the solution that I am using and I know how to use it. My question is: "Is there a better and modern way in Windows 2008 R2 to replace Robocopy" I said "Modern" because robocopy is around for more than 10 years. I expent something with UI is available in windows 2008 r2? Thanks..

Hi Allan, Thanks for posting here. I think PowerShell ,a new feature on windows server 2008 may help you to achieve the goal.
