I'm about two weeks away from building my new WHS2011-based NAS. I can't wait to get off these WD green drives, holy moly.
I have 10Tb of data over five 2tb drives on the WHSv1 server, and I need to get all that over to the new server. Ideally I'll preserve the same folder structure of the shared drives (I plan to use Stablebit's Drivepool to emulate the DE experience), but I'm wondering what the best way to go about this is. What's the best tool to copy so much data? The IT bods at work seem to use Robocopy, but I've no experience with it. I'm a little worried as I was copying some data (about 120Gb) to an external drive recently and got CRC errors, so I'm worried about starting this massive copy process and it stalling because of some CRC errors or otherwise unhealthy drives.
Also I have some programs running like SABnzbd, Couch Potato, Sickbeard etc, so I'd need to stop those and possibly disable automatic updates as well. Would be very interested to hear how any of you have managed a similar process. I have a Gb LAN, so I think it'll take about a day to copy everything.
