Sorry; that was 500G in 7 hours, between locally attached storage on one
server. Which also required some manual intervention, according to my
co-worker who did it. Some of the folders had such goofy permissions, that
he had to seize ownership of the folder, before he could re-start the
copy. NW won't have that problem.
And transferring across the LAN from one server to another is bound to be
slower than transferring between locally attached storage.
