I have a gig to consolidate 1.35TB of data spread over five computers and a NAS to a single location.
Sadly the password for the NAS was lost so I can only use the network because I am not playing the manual's "reset without destroying data, honest!" gambit.

I was wondering what the best Windows tool would be to copy that stuff over the network reliably. Seeing how this will take a whole weekend I don't want to babysit the transfer all the time. At most I want to pop in twice a day to check.

I know there's richcopy but that hasn't been updated since 2009.

Ah right, robocopy. I nearly forgot that one.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

I swear, there has GOT to be a decent GUI for robocopy. Or at least something with a decent gui for drag and dropping.

I seem to have actually found a usable gui but it's in German only http://yarcgui.wilkes.es/
