Hi
My issue does not fit neatly into any categort so i think this is the best fit.
>> The problem is how to provide the robocopy /MIR type functionality over multiple inputs..
Let me explain.
We have a new file server and i have a BAT file which came from Powershell to do the robocopy.
Source Destination
\abc\bugs \new\bugs
\abc\def\bugs \new\bugs
\hij\bnm\bugs \new\bugs
Due to the large file count and gigs. the robocopy was an all copy (not /MIR).
It takes days to run. MIR deletes files in the destination if they are not in the source.
At the change over point, i will run the script again and pick up the diffs. During the next week i am encouraging users to delete old content.
Ideally want i want to do is a combined /MIR functionality across multiple source locations to the same destination location.
>> So i am after tips / hints on how to do this ?
One way which should work, is to reset all the archive bits in " \new\bugs", do the copy setting the archive bit, then come through later and delete the files with no archive bit set.
This will because none of the files now exist in the multiple source destinations.
Thanks
