This article will explain in detail how to use the multithreading feature of Robocopy in windows 10. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

How to use the Robocopy multithreading feature?

If you want to copy a large number of files and folders in Win10 to another drive, you can copy the following steps to implement Robocopy multithreading to achieve ultra-fast data replication speed:

1. Open the Command prompt with administrator privileges

2. Execute a command similar to the following for multithreaded replication:

Robocopy C:\ source\ folder\ path\ D:\ destination\ folder\ path\ / S / ZB / MT:32 5 / V / MT:32

For example:

Robocopy D:\ Pictures\ Desktop theme E:\ Desktop theme / S / ZB / R ZB 5 / V / MT:32

Note: please replace the source and destination paths with your own.

The Robocopy command line usage explains:

Robocopy is very powerful, so there are a lot of command line switches, so let's list only the common switches that can copy files reliably and quickly.

/ S-copy subdirectories, but not empty subdirectories.

/ E-copy subdirectories, including empty subdirectories.

/ Z-copies files in restartable mode.

/ ZB-use restartable mode; if access is denied, use backup mode.

/ Rore5-number of retries for failed copies: default is 1 million.

/ WRV 5-wait time between retries: the default is 30 seconds.

/ TBD-wait for the share name to be defined (retry error 67).

/ NP-No progress-the percentage replicated is not displayed.

/ V-generates detailed output and displays skipped files.

/ MT:32-multithreaded replication using n threads (default is 8). Must be at least 1, but not greater than 128.

The most important switch in the above command is / MT, which allows Robocopy to replicate in multithreaded mode. If you do not set a number for / MT, the default number is 8, which means that Robocopy will copy eight files at the same time. The editor personally recommends the use of 32 threads, although more threads can be opened, but the larger the number, the more system resources and bandwidth are used.
