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

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
}

I am surprised that robocopy produces garbage under Vista. 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?
