I am using Robocopy for the first time and like it a bunch. I'll have to play around with it.
I did install 10.2 on my test servers for upgrade testing, so that was already setup. I was just wondering about when you update the software if you did it manually on the SQL server machine or if you copied it. I'll probably go with manually updating it.
I'm on Windows 2008 R2 and SQL 20008 and IT is wanting me to switch to 2012 on both fronts. Was going from 2008 to 2012 easy? Did you need a new server for the upgrade or did you just upgrade the software and OS?
Thanks Tom for all the help!
