Guest Christian Schwaiger Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Hi, I have to copy a big file (267 GB SQL Backup) over the network to a new server. The copy process stop with a error (less system ressources). I have tested the copy with another destination, another file and with robocopy. It's the same problem. If I copy the file from on partition to another partion the failure is the same. Here are the system facts: source: IBM xSeries 346 , 8 GB Ram Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2 - 32 Bit SQL Server 2000 1GBit LAN destination: IBM xSeries 345 , 8 GB Ram Windows Server 2003 Standard SP2 - 32 Bit 1 GBit LAN The SQL Server 2000 is limited to use not more than 1,5 GB RAM. In boot.ini the /PAE and /3GB parameter is set. I can't locate the problem. Best regards and thank's for your help. Christian Schwaiger

Guest Mathieu CHATEAU Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Re: problem with big file copy Hello, you may use eseutil to achieve this. He is really fast and great to copy extra large files, as it doesn't buffer it. eseutil /Y c:\source\file /D\\server\destination there is no space after /D -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU English blog: http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com French blog: http://www.lotp.fr "Christian Schwaiger" <ChrisR80@newsgroup.nospam> wrote in message news:9B67BACF-0A0B-47F6-BA70-3F37A7B74B8D@microsoft.com... > Hi, > > I have to copy a big file (267 GB SQL Backup) over the network to a new > server.
