move a file server to new hardware,

I need a solution

Hello,

I have the task to move a file server (VM, Windows Server 2008, around 800GB) to a new file server.The new file server will be also a VM with Windows Server 2012 R2. People are using Robocopy to perform this task. 

This weekend I restored the data from Backup Exec which also restore the NTFS permissions. It takes far less time than Robocopy. It's great!

My question: next weekend I will definitely put the new file server in production. I intend to restore the files using BE again. I guess the option "restore only if newer" will only restore modified or new files from next week. Which means the restore job should be much quicker. Right?

The folder share I will move with exporting the share kexy in the registriy.

Thanks,

Edy
