Real Time data copy?

[jmair]

Can anyone think of a file copy solution from one folder to another, that will copy over only new files in real time (automated)? For example, when I ftp a file to our server, said solution will make a copy of that file and place it into another folder for shared access?

Robocopy with the /mir switch?

This is the basic batch I'm running now. Works great, except when I upload a file with the same name as one already in the destination folder, the destination file gets overwritten and I need a copy of both. So I will need to rename the file in the destination folder to time/date first so I will have both versions. Perhaps this is the wrong place for such a question?

 

 

   @echo off
cls
:start
echo Checking if I can copy
xcopy C:\location\left C:\location\right /d /s /r /y
timeout /t 10
goto start

 

 

 

I could have sworn that we used to have a code/script section. Couldn't find it so I'm dumping it here.

If you do not delete anything in the destination folder, won't it get really big over time?

We do.

Maybe look at Unison instead then, if you need to keep backup copies of things that have changed, and you are on Windows.

Thanks for the tip Morganw. I will check that out.
