randle Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I have a robocopy script that uses the /mir switch. This has copied the files as expected but wanted to test that when run again, this should see that the files already exists and skip them but this doesn't seem to be the case and is copying the files over again even though they haven't been modified Any ideas ?
randle Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 Anyone? I've played around with the /M switch which only copies files/dirs with the archive bit set. After copying this unmarks the file/folder which in theory is exactly the behaviour i want (Something i thought the /MIR switch was meant to do) but this still copies all files over again
randle Posted April 25, 2008 Author Posted April 25, 2008 I was wrong as this doesn't copy all files over again. It just takes a while to check through for changes. Even still i thought the /MIR switch was meant to take care of all needed switches for a sync like the /CLONE switch does in XXCOPY
randle Posted April 25, 2008 Author Posted April 25, 2008 I didn't realise you could run Synctoy as a scheduled task which pretty much does what i need so will use that instead.
