Since I just got a USB drive enclosure and a 250 GB backup drive, I'm playing around with this today.
I wanted to use XXCOPY, and so far I have it doing a nice backup with the \BU switch. This will ignore any files that haven't changed, add any that were added in the source drive and modify any that were modified in the source drive. The only thing I *can't* get it to do is to delete files that were deleted in the source directory. I tried the /RD and /RX switches but both wanted to remove the whole destination directory! :-O Thank goodness it asked first. Did I miss something with XXCOPY? The other delete switches all deal with deleting files in the source directory, which is not what you want to do with a backup... So I'll play with robocopy now and see if it does what I want. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22161 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
