Comment:

Providing I'm not wrong and that you can
Robocopy from a UNC path to another UNC path,
does the bandwidth get used on the box that's
running Robocopy?

Scenario:

3 servers, each on a remote location and I
did this on SERVER1...

robocopy C:\Shared \\SERVER2\Shared *.*
robocopy \\SERVER2\Shared \\SERVER3\Shared
*.*

Once it reaches the second line, is SERVER1's
network bandwidth technically freed up or
does packets still go through SERVER2-to-
SERVER1-to-SERVER3? Or should I just set
another Robocopy local from SERVER2 to go to
SERVER3?

Hope that made sense. Thanks in advance.

Run performance monitor to a log to find out what is using what where.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
