I would also use DFS Replication along with Robocopy to preseed the data on the destination side.
Set up the Robocopy script to copy everything over and skip any files in use and not to retry on failures. Once the Robocopy script completes fire up DFSR and it will catch the rest. If the data doesn't change much you can skip the Robocopy step but DFSR will take a long time to finish it's first sweep and may not complete at all. DFSR will also duplicate all the permissions as long as you are not using local groups for permissions, and if you are now is a good time to stop.
