| Guest | Copy changed files only? Hi! I'd like to mirror a folder and its subfolders to another server regularly, but in order to save time and bandwidth, it should only copy files, that have actually changed. I would use robocopy, but unfortunately it pretty much only produces garbage under vista O_o Any ideas? Thanks, Daniel |

| Guest | RE: Copy changed files only? This script should do it: $changedFiles = dir | where { $_.Attributes -band [System.IO.FileAttributes]::Archive } foreach($file in $changedFiles) { $targetName = "z:\MySubDir\" + $file.Name Copy-Item -path $file.FullName -Destination $targetName } "Daniel Erkan" wrote: > Hi! > > I'd like to mirror a folder and its subfolders to another server > regularly, but in order to save time and bandwidth, it should only copy > files, that have actually changed. > I would use robocopy, but unfortunately it pretty much only produces > garbage under vista O_o > > Any ideas? > > > Thanks, > Daniel > |

Are you using an old version of robocopy on Vista? Have you tried the now built-in version? If the built-in version doesn't work, what exactly is the "garbage" it produces? Jacques |
