You probably know the Robocopy tool if you work in business. This is included in Windows Seven and Windows Server 2008 R2. One of the new features of this tool allows the use of multithreading and thus gain in performance on the copy.

For this you must add the option / MT [: Nombre_de_thread].

You can specify between 1 and 128 threads. By default, the value is equal to 8 threads.

In this example, I copy the entire contents of the Temp folder in the folder temp2 Mirror mode (ie a perfect copy of the tree):


Warning! It is not possible to use this option with options / IPG and / EFSRAW

/ IPG: Sets the amount of network bandwidth consumed by Robocopy.

/ EFSRAM: copy encrypted files using EFS RAW mode.
