| | A more efficient way to copy files? Today I use RoboCopy with the /Mir switch in Vista to make a mirror copy of a data drive I have that contains a lot of multi-gigabyte video files. I've recently started tagging them all, and find that I am tagging things with all kind of different things. Problem is, tagging the file updates the datestamp, and Robocopy thinks it's a more current file, so it copies the ENTIRE multi-gigabyte file to the mirrored drive every time I update a tag. Is their a better tool to use than Robocopy for this purpose...one that's able to just copy over the new metadata in the file rather than the whole file every time I update a tag? Thanks |
