Yes, I was going to recommend Robocopy as well.
It looks a bit dense at first because it's a command-line tool working
off switches, but once you make a batch file (just write the command
with the switches and save it as <something>.bat) you never have to
mess with it again.
There are lots of examples of which switches to use once you find the
thread.
I'm using:
Code:
--------------------
robocopy k:\ m:\ /mir /xd "System Volume Information" "Recycler"
/log:"C:\Documents and Settings\Mark\Desktop\Music Backup.log" /np /tee
pause
--------------------
in my batch file. This says "backup K:\ to M:\, mirror, ignore the
"System Volume Information" and "Recycler" directories, write a log to
"C:\Documents and Settings\Mark\Desktop\Music Backup.log", don't show
progress bars, show progress in console window.
Mirror deletes files if they are deleted in the source directory so
that the backup is a perfect copy. I ignore the System Volume
Information directory because Windows can't read it and crashes when it
tries to copy it. I don't show progress bars because that takes
forever.
