![]() Well to solve this problem, I remembered the good old fashioned Robocopy! In fact, the latest versions of Robocopy, that now comes pre-installed in Windows servers by the way, has a multi-thread feature! Especially when you have a lot of large files you need to copy relatively quickly. What we noticed was that although the transport link was 100Mbps, our NICs were 1Gbps and our local switches are 1Gbps switches, we would still only see file transfers at around 10Mbps. We would use your typical SMB/CIFS share and copy files. One problem that we noticed was that when we needed to copy large files, it would take forever. It's used to transfer files, and be the path for database mirroring etc. Between our main data center and our DR site, we have a 100Mbps dedicated transport link. At my day job we have a disaster recovery (DR) site a few thousand miles away.
