Looking for a way to push and sync a directory tree to another directory.

[Al Dykes]

I want a way to push files to another folder every few minutes. xcopy
would do it except when files or folders in the source directory are
deleted. I can't just blow the target away and do a fresh copy.

This should be either be a complete package that runs as a service or
a command line utility that I can schedule in a batch job.

Any suggestions ?

You might want to checkout Second Copy www.centered.com maybe that does what
you want.

Hi

Microsoft's Robocopy.exe and using the switch /MIR (Mirror a complete
directory tree) is an option for a one way sync.


Robocopy.exe is available here:

Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&DisplayLang=en

(The kit will install on WinXP or later and you can copy only
needed files to other computers)

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