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.
