WikitipPerformance benefits of Multithread RobocopyRobocopy (“robust file copy”), included with Windows operating systems, is a rich file copy utility with many options. Note that the syntax for Robocopy is different than the COPY or XCOPY commands. To get started with robocopy, open a command prompt and enter: robocopy. For this presentation we compared the results with and without the multithread option: robocopy /MT. Using the multithread option in most cases results in faster or significantly faster file copy operations than without the multithread option. The multithread option was introduced in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. When using the multithread option, the thread count can be 1 – 128, with a default of 8 threads. Robocopy takes advantage of Server Message Block (SMB) version 2.1, a file and print services network protocol, also sometimes known as CIFS. For additional detail on SMB 2.1 see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff625695(WS.10).aspx. For the tests shown in the presentation, we used two relatively new servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 and did local disk-to-disk (array) copies and copies across the network, using 1GbE and 10GbE infrastructure. We used three sets of files in these robocopy tests:
View the March 2011 RMWTUG Robocopy Multithread presentation, which includes the test descriptions, hardware configurations and results graphs, including bytes/sec and time to completion. Look for more detailed test results to follow in an upcoming Demartek Robocopy Multithread report.

Featured How-To Note |
Storage Virtualization Design and DeploymentA main impediment to storage virtualization is the lack of multiple storage vendor (heterogeneous) support within available virtualization technologies. This inhibits deployment across a data center. The only practical approach is either to implement a single vendor solution across the whole of the data center (practical only for small and some medium size data centers) or to implement virtualization in one or more of the largest storage pools within a data center. | |||
