Need to copy specific shares for migration
I am looking for an tool to use to copy a selection my User directories, that are spread across 3 filesystems,since copying all the directories is not an option. I have been searching a tool to help with this process. Either a scripted solution or tool to help automate this process as I have to sift through several hundred directories.
No Events found!

I should also mention that I do need to maintain the shares post migration. I looked into securecopy but it would only allow me to copy 1 directory at a time, and would not read from a file.

you can run multiple instances of robocopy, each one copying different source to different target. By default robocopy "copies" data leaving source data untached but you could also instruct robocopy to "move" data.

take a look at EMC utility called "sharedup", you can find it on PowerLink.

I checked out robocopy, and this is good for copying my filesystems and data. I still have left to recreated all of the CIFS shares on the new Filesystem.

My solution to this is going to be sharedup and emcopy.
