If you've got a large collection of files that need syncing over a number of PCs then robocopy is your friend. Which will mirror (/MIR) d:\workdir with y:\workdir, append a log of what it does to d:\update.log (/LOG+d:\update.log) writing output to both the console and the log file (/TEE), and try each file 5 times before moving on to the next one.

any sort of backup is better than none, but realise only data can be backed up, software must be reinstalled.

Windows 10 Re: Transferring files from 10 to XP via SyncToy. Before posting on our computer help forum, you must register. I typically use something like robocopy d:\workdir y:\workdir /TEE /LOG+:d:\update.log /MIR /R:5 Transferring files from 10 to XP via SyncToy. I also find this one useful when copying between Linux file systems and NTFS. This breaks the existing folder pairs, in which the Left Folder starts with C. On the new machine, the data drive is D: rather than C. I recently migrated to a new Windows machine.

FFT will use FAT time stamps which are less accurate than NTFS (uses a 2 sec granularity in timestamps). I have been using SyncToy in echo mode to update media files on a Synology NAS with the latest versions of those files on Windows. XD dir1 dir2 will ignore any dirs named dir1 or dir2 in the copy. rar) and say that extension is in a SUB folder under the root directory that is being monitored (example. 2 - If you ARE using SyncToy - IF I choose 'files to include' and select an extension in there (example. LOG+somefilename.log will append the screen output to somefilename.log, creating it if necessary. 1 - Is there better software out there Again, I know there are TONZ of sync programs, but NOT many that can run as a windows service. The transfer speeds fluctuated quite a bit compared to Windows 7’s copying mechanism. While copying 24 GB of smaller files, however, TeraCopy undercut Windows with 17:32 from A to B and 17:02 from B to C. R:10 tells robocopy to try 10 times to copy the file before giving up. Copying the 4.4 GB file took longer than Windows did, at 3:41 from A to B and 2:53 from B to C. MIR mirrors a dir tree so will delete as well as add Here's some useful tips for doing this sort of thing.

So you can point it at a huge dir tree and only changed files will be copied. The 'killer app' feature is that robocopy will retain file date/time stamps and, by default will ONLY copy files that are different. He'll log in to the same servers later tonight and run a similar set of robocopy batch files to download all the changes I'm currently uploading.

I'm working with a colleague at the other end of the country. I use it for doing the sort of things you mention.įor example I'm currently running 5 robocopy sessions on my server where I'm copying about 60GB of files between 3 remote servers, I'm connected to two via a CheckPoint VPN and the other is an Amazon S3 space mapped via JungleDisk.
