Problem with mtree and directory structure
Hello all,
I've two DD640, both configured equal. They have one MTree /data/col1/backup and this one as two subfolders "dd1" and "dd2". These folders are shared by CIFS under the same name:
\\dd1\dd1\ -> Storage for Networker at location 1
\\dd1\dd2\ -> CIFS replication target for DD2
\\dd2\dd1\ -> CIFS replication target for DD1
\\dd2\dd1\ -> Storage for Networker at location 2
Now I want to migrate from CIFS to MTree replication. But as I learned, I can't create MTree /data/col1/backup/dd1 and /data/col1/backup/dd2.
So my idea was do create two new MTrees /data/col1/dd1 and /data/col1/dd2.
But the question is: how could I move the existing data from /data/col1/backup/dd1 to /data/col1/dd1 (and of course the same for dd2)? I could not find any why to move files localy. And I think to move them via CIFS is very inefficient.
Any idea?
Greetings,
Dennis

Hi Brian,
yes, that worked out great
Even if the data are duplicated and copying of ~6TB was very fast (took only 13 secs ), it's a realy copy and I can safely delete the old "source" MTree, right?

Perfect, it works
Only the initialization of the new created replcation is very slow. After around 24h:
With this speed it will take up to ~ 1 month to complete replication
