Hi
 
I have approx 3000 users thats using 600GB of data on my SM server, and i have a new server at a different datacentre where i want to move everything.
 
any ideas on the best way to move the data?
 
both servers have a 1GB port and SSD drives

Robocopy is your best friend in this scenario. The first run might take a couple of days. Subsequent runs should take less than a hour.

Hi Mike, I was going to recommend robocopy as well. The process outlined here should be sufficient: https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2874/use-robocopy-to-move-from-one-server-to-another.aspx

I take it there is no physical access because that would be the best way and then follow up with robocopy or similar option
