    how do I copy a BIG single file (using richcopy?) big file copy


    I'm trying to copy a VHD (22g, dynamic I think...)

    I tried richcopy. It says copy started, but then stops....

    I saw someone mention xcopy /j, to achieve the unbuffered I/O perf. you get with richcopy...

    it's running, but no indication as to how long it takes (EDIT: just finished, > 10 mins),

    what's the syntax for single files?

    Can't you just paste the path into the source?


    (starts, and stops... any logs?)

    Use this command if the VHD is sitting on C:

    robocopy "C:\Users\yourName\VHD Folder" "S:\Storage Folder" *.* /COPY:DAT /E

    Change yourname and replace VHD Folder with the name of the folder where the VHD resides. S:\Storage Folder is where you want to store it.
