I recently received a non-pieceofcrapuous laptop, and I am in the process of copying everything from old to new. I'm trying to xcopy c:*.* from the old ...
Thinking about a Windows-hosted build process that will periodically drop files to disk to be replicated to several other Windows Servers in the same datacenter. The other machines would run IIS, and serve those files to the masses. The total corpus size would be millions of files, 100's of GB of data. It'd have to deal with possible ...

I double-checked that none of the fil...
