Copying data from one hard drive to another in linux

Raakh5 · 11-25-2013, 06:48 AM

Hello,

OS: Centos 6x

We have two hard drives i.e. 25gb and 250gb
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda2 25G 17G 6.2G 74% /
tmpfs 2.0G 610M 1.5G 30% /dev/shm
/dev/xvda1 248M 55M 182M 24% /boot
/dev/xvdc1 247G 188M 234G 1% /xvdc1

There is a directory on 25gb /root/OldServerBackup. I want to move it to 250gb hard drive.

Please advise

Thanks in anticipation

Maybe I'm missing something but wouldn't the mv command do just that?

Code:

mv /root/OldServerBackup /xvdc1/some_dir
