I certainly wouldn't recommend leaving the FTP server running long-term, but it's probably fine for the initial bulk load.Datadobi ,GoodSync or Gs Richcopy 360 for Isilon - posted in Backup, Imaging, and Disk Management Software: Our problem appears while trying to migrate our existing Windows server 2019 and all of. I also included a variable for the robocopy LOG so I could put the date into the log file name, so there was a new log each day.Have you tried a different protocol? I had much better throughput on my personal NAS by using FTP rather than SMB/CIFS, particularly for small-ish files. I used variables to set the path that the data was located, as well as the destination for the backup on the Isilon. Also, the Isilon storage only allowed specific accounts access, so I had to map a drive first.
Robocopy or emcopy to run incremental syncs of the data (copy/purge) until your cut-over Master this process and save yourself 10’s of thousands in migration services from EMC Jay Barrett on Monday, 4 November, 2013 at 5:15 pmI have not i guess it cant hurt to try. DFS is nice, but it means that every server has a complete copy of everything, so thats not a good architecture if. Yup - either a SAN or NAS device to centralize them, or distributed storage like Isilon, Gluster, etc. (in Isilon Web UI) - Opened the Command Prompt Run as administartor.Its faster to use something like robocopy, esp when dealing with larger amounts of data. Unfortunately, based on a quick Google search, the Seagates are pretty terrible at NAS-to-NAS backups, topping out at around 8-10 MB/s.Robocopy, or Robust File Copy, is a command line directory replication tool.

Cut and paste is not great because it copies from source to the host and then to the destination, but the host may have a better implementation of caching of CIFS protocol.Robocopy,current windows utils, and as you found cut and paste (or drag and drop) is far superior to Rich copy. You have moved it slightly by using windows copy. They also apparently have anemic CPU and poor performance.Unless you have some other thing going on and you have problems with the LAN, the bottleneck is the NAS. Those NAS units have gigabit ethernet interfaces. I kicked it of this afternoon and its going to take about 3 hours for Win Server 2012 just to process all the files it needs to copy and then i will take a look and monitor the transfer speed.So far i have discovered is taking out richcopy out of equation, and mounting source data CIFS directly on the target NAS and using windows copy/past has give best performance today, around 20MB/s.20MB/s= 160Mb/s that is still below the 1Gb/s throughput your interfaces have. But at this point i will give it a shot and see what happens.
Primary NAS serves CIFS and these CIFS are used by the application to write data to it. One is acting as primary and the other is just used for backup. Its not ideal but ill take it over 4MB/s.Is it possible to enable NFS on both then run rsync over NFS?How is the primary NAS backed up? Might be faster to pull the data from backup if not just take an entire backup copy.The Primary nas is EMC Isilon and there are two. Copy/Past still processing the files about 1 TB left to process and then the big moment to see how the copying will be, keeping fingers crossed i can at least get consistent 20Mb/s.
So i have decided to continue with richcopy and yes its slow as heck but i think i can have this copy in about two weeks time frame.I have two target NAS devicees and i am writing about 350GB per day on each, making it total of around 700GB per day.My test from yesterday using just copy/past did not have any better results it was still copying at around 3MB/s.The bottleneck is the Segate NAS this thing is at 100% CPU utilization and it just cant write data fast enough thats being thrown at it.
