I personally prefer to deal with each top level folder as a separate emcopy run, using a for loop as follows…
#Emcopy 4.16 download how to#
Working examples of emcopy commands below, with differences highlighted.Įmcopy_v4.14.exe “S:\My Source Folder” D:\My_Dest_Folder *.* /s /secfix /o /a /i /d /c /th 32 /r:5 /w:3Įmcopy_v4.14.exe “S:\My Source Folder” D:\My_Dest_Folder *.* /s /nosec /o /a /i /d /c /th 256 /r:5 /w:3Ī more elaborate example showing how to exclude multiple directories specified by full path or just as a nameĮmcopy_v4.14.exe “S:\My Source Folder” D:\My_Dest_Folder *.* /xd “System Volume Information” homedirs profiles wtsprofiles /s /secfix /o /a /i /d /c /th 32 /r:5 /w:3 In practice, emcopy vs robocopy – I have found it to be much faster than robocopy. It defaults to 64 threads but can be told to use up to 256 threads, massively speeding up copy operations. It allows you to back up the file and directory security-ACLs, owner information,Īnd audit information-from a source directory to a destination directory without copying NTFS partition, keeping security the same on the copy as on the original. The command syntax is much like robocopy so if you’re familar with that, then using emcopy will be easy.Įmcopy lets you copy a file or directory (and included subdirectories) from and to an c will allow the process to continue after the retries.Emc’s emcopy (part of emc’s rather elusive but freely downloadable if you can find it CIFS_Tools.zip package) is akin to Microsoft’s own robocopy, only faster with extra benefits. w:30 is the wait time in seconds between retries. If it fails it fails and I'll catch it tomorrow. r:1 /w:30 /c - /r:1 retires one time (default I believe is 100), I don't care to have it retrying all day because someone left a word document opened. sd preserves security, the file isn't copied if an error occurs during security settings. secforce overwrites the destination security settings with the source security settings (copies security settings). o /secforce /sd - /o copies the files owner, without this the account used for the copy will be the owner. cm md5 - checks the file content after copying using and md5 comparison of the source and destination.

de - Compares both file size and last modification time when deciding to update a file, updates it if either have been changed. sdd forces the target directories dates to be synchronized with the source directory. purge removes files and directories from the destination that do no exist in the source. In this case I'm coping entire drives (F: drive) from a remote server to the local server \\\F$ F:\ - Source path followed by destination path.
I'll break that down in logical blocks, not necessarily how it's listed above: emcopy.exe \\\F$ F:\ /o /secforce /s /de /sd /c /r:1 /th 16 /cm md5 /purge /sdd I placed EMCopy on the server I wanted to move files to, and used the following.

If you know where to download a current/new version, or even an offical link to 4.17, please comment below. While I found links and Knowlege Base articles indicating this should be in the support tools section, a search for "EMCOPY" comes up with nothing. The EMC site no longer works, everything has been moved behind Dell's support portal. Register for an account, log in, and follow the direct link. I couldn't find where on EMC's site they had the newest version, but searching the support forums I came across a direct link.
This is just my recommendation and an example of how it's being used in my environment. Other people have done more in depth comparisons of the various tools. I came across a few recomendations for EMCopy 1 2 3. My requirements were that the tool had to copy security permissions for the shared folders, had to be able to copy across the network, and needed to be able to sync just deltas so we didn't have to copy hundreds of GB's every time something changed. I started down the path of finding the best tool for the job, Googling Robocopy, XCopy, RichCopy, etc.

Recently I was tasked with syncing some shared drives so we could upgrade a server.
