I work with databases and some of my backup files are 30-100 gigs in
size. I currently use the FastCopy utility to copy files from one
server to another. (This is needed when I need to transfer a DB to a
different server). FastCopy says its 30 to 50% faster than Windows
file copy. I read somewhere that the windows kernel defaults to
4mb/sec throughput for copying.
Is this true? Is there a faster way or some utility to copy files?
I'm aware of RoboCopy but the documentation didn't mention anything
about faster performance. All my servers are windows 2000 NTFS.
Thanks
