EMCOPY is a command-line Windows tool that was developed by Dell Technologies to aid the migration of data between file systems. It can be used to migrate data to PowerStore from any supported Dell storage system or third-party storage system. EMCOPY is available as a free download from Dell Support.
EMCOPY supports the SMB protocol and has awareness for file-system-access-control settings. This support allows this information to be migrated along with the files themselves. EMCOPY can be configured to run regularly on the same file systems to establish an asynchronous host-based replication session. Only modified file system data is transferred when EMCOPY is run on the same file system multiple times. The functions and use of EMCOPY are like Robocopy. However, EMCOPY is supported by Dell Technologies and can be completed on an entire environment that runs on Dell storage.
