Sidenote: ROBOCOPY c:\sourcefolder d:\targetfolder /zb /sec /e /nocopy may give you similar results but useful ONLY when more permissions are added. The default value for CopyFlags is DAT (data, attributes, and time stamps). ROBOCOPY /E /Copy:S /IS /ITĬopy option have the following flags to use: You wanted to copy only the permission changes and not data. You have copied the contents from source to destination but now you made changes to the Security permissions at source. If there are a lot of files & directories, this may hamper performance. This may work in your scenario, but beĪware that Robocopy will not just copy the changes, it will scan the complete directory structure just like a normal mirroring procedure. Note that Robocopy also contains a switch that will make Robocopy monitor the source for changes and invoke synchronization each time a configurable number of changes hasīeen made. Robocopy can be setup as a simply Scheduled Task that runs daily, hourly, weekly etc. To mirror the directory "C:\directory" to "\\server2\directory" excluding \\server2\directory\dir2" from being deleted (since it isn't present in C:\directory) use the following command: Robocopy "C:\Folder" "\\Machine2\Folder" /MIR /XD \\server2\ directory\dir2" Use Robocopy to copy all changes to files in a directory called c:\data to a directory that contains the date, like data_20091124. /W:5 reduces the wait time between failures to 5 seconds instead of the 30 second default./XA:H makes Robocopy ignore hidden files, usually these will be system files that we're not interested in./Z ensures Robocopy can resume the transfer of a large file in mid-file instead of restarting.For across-network share operations this seems to be much more reliable - just don't rely on the file timings to be completely precise to the second. This means the granularity is a bit less precise. /FFT uses fat file timing instead of NTFS.Note that this will delete files at the destination if they were deleted at the source. /MIR specifies that Robocopy should mirror the source directory and the destination directory.The following command will mirror the directories using Robocopy: Robocopy \\SourceServer\Share \\DestinationServer\Share /MIR /FFT /Z /XA:H /W:5 Or ROBOCOPY source-drive:\DIR destination-drive:\DIR /MIR ROBOCOPY \\sourceserver\share \\destinationserver\share /MIR Including the empty directories and you purge files and folders on the destination server that no longer exists in source. MIR is an option to ROBOCOPY where you mirror a directory tree with all the subfolders #5 Mirror a directory with subfolders incl. Otherwise, N specifies a date in the format YYYYMMDD /minlad: Specifies the minimum last access date (excludes files used since N) If N is less than 1900, N specifies the number of days./maxlad: Specifies the maximum last access date (excludes files unused since N)./minage: Specifies the minimum file age (exclude files newer than N days or date)./maxage: Specifies the maximum file age (to exclude files older than N days or date).Similarly you could use the below switches ROBOCOPY C:\SourceFoldern D:\DestinationFolder /move /minage:14 Move files over 14 days old (note the MOVE option will fail if any files are open and locked). if /l is omitted, files matching the criteria will be copied to the taget location Note: /l - will list files matching the criteria. Robocopy.exe c:\sourceFolder d:\targetfolder /min:33553332 /l List only files larger than 32 MBytes(33553332 bytes) in size.
