I started a RoboCopy transfer this morning to an HDD connected via USB. It got to 40GB after about 5 hours and I checked the log.txt to notice that it hasn’t moved from a certain file.

I will need every single file transferred and as quick as possible (even if that takes a week)

Currently I am using

robocopy e:\source h:\destination /E /DCOPY:DAT /R:0 /W:0 /LOG+:C:\temp\robocopylog.txt\

I’ve killed the RoboCopy task and modified the command numerous times and don’t see much of a change, so I am asking for the best commands to simply let this transfer in the background without me having to check on it every hour.

I tried adding /MT and that brought over hundreds of subfolders but no files. Still stuck at 40GB an hour later.

    Which OS? Can you use a different app? If it’s Windows I recommend FastCopy.
