[Leica] 4TB drive dead...

[John McMaster]

Robocopy has been around for some time, very useful. 

Is this failed drive used 24/7 or spun up/down quite often? I use enterprise disks (some were still working after 8 years in NASes I recently sold) but all run continuously

I have been using NTI Shadow, which is really important for my $dayjob$ as it makes copies of my source files. For photos, of course I only keep one copy.

However, just found out that Win7 has a "robocopy" command line command that might do the job even better for "mirror backup" Once the files are up  again (spending 7+ hours copying the files over now...), I will look into it.
