Robocopy Data server migrations for unstructured data have been around for as long as servers existed. It was always viewed as an easy task until data growth exponentially with the beginning of the new millennium.  Data that comprised 50GB used to be considered on the larger side of the spectrum. Nowadays, data sets of 200GB can be considered a walk in the park for many system administrators. This is attributed to the fact that higher reliance on computers and the use rich media prompted files to grow. For instance, an email attachment of a word document used to be 2MB to be considered of a decent size. Currently, a 10MB word document is considered within the reasonable size. Let alone PowerPoint presentations. With unstructured data growing at such a high pace, disk space and system resources on servers are quickly reaching their limits on older servers. This is forcing system administrators to quickly consider moving to newer systems equipped with larger space (either SAN ...

Data has grown exponentially over the last two decades.  This is a result of heavier reliance on computers, many different channels to use and collect data from, and last but not the least, storage becoming cheaper, more accessible and affordable where users do not feel the need to purge or clean up data due to cost constrains. File migration software With that said, hardware and servers need to be replaced and upgraded overtime. System administrators can find it rather challenging and daunting task when it comes down to the time where data needs to be migrated to the new server or location. In the past, 20GB data set or 50,000 files was the normal average.  Nowadays, even the average varies from one industry to another. Doctors, lawyers, and law enforcement could have millions of files with Terabytes of total size as their data set.  A small user office could have 300GB of data set size and 250k files total. This has resulted in the need to use file migration soft...
