Server 2012 Folder sync/replication Softwate

[srothman]

Hi all,

I have a 2TB-odd volume I need to replicate (with permissions) to another volume, as well as keep it in sync afterwards for at least a couple of hours.

This is a break-fix situation, and I'm concerned about having increased downtime during the migration process.

So thinking of replicating, doing a final sync at some point, and then cutting over to the new volume.

Any recommendations on good (read free) software out there? Stumbled across a couple of suggestions, but can't find any proper reviews on any of them.

What querty said. Make a cmd file, then after the initial copy is made, schedule it to run every few minutes.
