Thans Librarian , I thouhgt so. Will this work ? ROBOCOPY \\Server1\nas1 \\Server2\backup /S /E /Z so will only copy directorys and files not already at the destination ? Cheers.

Just wondering , if I restart xcopy after there was a network outage to the destination will it start from where it let off ??

Hi Guys thanks for all your replys , Im actually looking for someone to show me how they would write the xcopy command line with the correct syntax and parameters . Thats will be 100 correct and tested. I just want to copy and paste it in to the cmd.exe and run it . Cheers. ROBOCOPY \\Server1\nas1 \\Server2\backup /S /E /Z ....would this work ? copy everthing in source that is not in destination including all sub folders and files. Cheers.

Hi TheLibrarian Thanks for the prompt reply , I had tired the GUI before and basically when i put in source , destination and correct parameters and hit copy nothing happend , I had tried this several times hence the reason i would like to try it from the command line cheers.

Hi Guys im new to this forum so a quick hello:) Basically im looking for a quick command line for robocopy to copy files from NAS storage (source) to a western general nas box (destination) for a quick backup. The destination already has folders on it that i started copying using xcopy this had taken 5 days then failed so i don't want to have to recopy these and start again. So basically i want to copy all folders in the source directory including all subfolders to the destination directory but only to copy folders that are not already there. I had tired richcopy but this was taken far to long and xcopy seemed to be much faster although didn't have the same fault tolerance. There is a lot of data to be copied as quickly as possible , about 1.6TB so restart/recovery is a must. Thanks.
