Recover Offline files

[MCManiac52]

Hi all, I've had a client who's NAS died and all the data was lost, we've replaced the NAS and they're all up and running but it turns out one of the machines (Windows 8.1) kept offline copies of the old NAS that we're still able to access, I've been slowly restoring files from the offline files to the new NAS but it's very slow as it's only letting me do a sub folder at a time (Folder 1 is a large folder with over 900 sub-folders) I'm guessing this is due to file size limits as sometimes I have to go into the individual sub-folders and copy the files one by one.

Is there any faster way to do this?

You could write a python script that retrives the files, or something similar

God it's been years since I did anything in Python, any tips on where to start?

I dont know any python at all, so i cant give any tips apart from that, this forum has a pretty good programming section, where experts can help you make programs. Maybe post a question there how to automate this thing.

SOLVED Used robocopy and it's worked perfectly!
