    I did something earlier today and I am not sure if I made a mistake.

     

    I booted up my system with a an old IDE drive connected ( E: ) There is about 10 GBs of data on this drive which I wanted to move to the WHS shares.

     

    I first opened the \\SERVER\Archive share link and I was going to copy the files via this link.

     

    I then decided that it would likely be faster to bypass the network and copy the files from the E: drive directly to the D:\shares\archive folder. In the back of my mind I thought something might be wrong with this but it worked quicklly.

     

    The data was all contained in three top level directories, and I still have the original on the E: drive.

     

    I was reading in another thread here where somebody said "Don't copy to the shares"

     

    What have I done? If anything.

     

    Thanks for your help,

    -Mike

    Don't worry.

     

    This should be no problem. The only thing is demigrator does not immediatley move the files from the so-called landing zone to the final location(s), however it will do this after a few hours. As long as you don't fill up your D partition (the landig zone) too far this is no problem
