Last syncronization time

[Tometa]

Hi!
Does anyone where is written last syncronization time for offline files
and folders? May be in registry or some other file?
I synchronize my notebook and office computer in two ways. Weekly with
mobsync. Daily by transfering only changed files on SD card with a
script I wrote for it. It could help me to enable script to read last
synchronization time and transfer only changed or new.

Each file has created, modified, and accessed times.
Your script should check each file to see when it was last modified.

Hi

I suggest you look into the command line tool Robocopy.exe, it
supports synchronization of only changed or new files.

Robocopy.exe is in the free Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&DisplayLang=en

(The kit will install on WinXP or later, the individual files can
then be copied to other computers if needed)

Robocopy.exe will work fine on Win2k, WinXP and Win2k3 Server.

See rktools.chm and robocopy.doc for documentation for Robocopy.exe.

Yes, it does, but files changed after referenced time - last
synchronization. Now I must write it manually every time.

I did it before.
It must be in monitoring mode to track changes or I again must provide
last syncdate. Also, I am not sure that it supports compression. Or?

Thanks anyway, Ron and Torgeir!

Just found it in:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\NetCache\Shares\ShareName] under
"LastSyncTime"=hex:30,3f,6e,13,99,e6,c4,01
It should be 20.12.2004 14:37.
Now I must see how to decode hex to date/time...
