syncing batch file

#1 Post by scienceguru1.bat » 24 Apr 2011 20:43

i want to create a batch file that syncs multiple folders, and i don't want to use the copy command, as that could create duplicates or errors (quessing). i also don't want to have to make an extra folder to sync. please help.

You should have a look at ROBOCOPY.

I think 'CD' command will be helpful to you...

as in:

Code: Select all

Z:
cd "Z:\..."
robocopy "." "C:......" /mir


?????

confused, but thanks for the idea. i think:

[code]@echo off
robocopy "Z:/..." "C:/users........" /mir[\code]

would work much better. aGerman, or other expert, what do you think?
