I need to move about 56GB of data from one F520 to another. Does anyone have experience using ndmpcopy for that? It looks like it might fit the bill, but I'd be interested in hearing of any good-bad-indifferent experiences with it, and particularly what rate it can transfer data from one filer to another.
A few weeks ago I moved a similar amount from a 230 to a 630, and it worked beautifully. On small segments, it even supports level based dumps, so if the tree you're copying is live, you can freshen with newer data. On large file systems (we had trouble with anything over a few gig) the level 1 tends to reboot the source filer. Level 0's are always fine.
ymmv.
