For me, these aren't one-off problems... They happen often enough, with only minor detail differences.
I have a script (acopy.bat) that I use to copy files from one location to another. You could call it as follows: for %v in (dir1 dir2 dir3 dir4) do acopy "\\source\share\%~v" "\\destination\share\%~v" *http://KB.UltraTech-llc.com/Scripts/?File=aCopy.BAT <http://kb.ultratech-llc.com/Scripts/?File=aCopy.BAT>* It is based on XCOPY ...OR... You could use XCOPY/ROBOCOPY to copy everything and exclude the folders or file types that you don't care about. Easy enough to put together in 10-15 min, max In contrast, this thread is now over an hour old. *ASB *(Find me online via About.Me <http://about.me/Andrew.S.Baker/bio>) *Exploiting Technology for Business Advantage... * On Mon, Feb 21, 2011 at 3:20 PM, Paul Hutchings <paul.hutchi...@mira.co.uk>wrote: > You know the scenario, you need to copy a few hundred gigs worth of > specific sub directories from A to B. > > > > Robocopy is probably ideal but it’s a PITA to script all those folder paths > for a one-time operation, and if you do a ctrl-select and set the copy off > from Windows Explorer you can be pretty sure you’re going to walk in the > next day to find it’s got a problem with a single file half way through so > it’s cancelled the whole operation (with no real clue what and why it > happened). > > > > So, what do you use? > > > > I’ve tried Rich Copy which looks great, but in reality it just doesn’t seem > to work very well with multiple source folders. > > > > Thanks, > > Paul > ------------------------------ > *MIRA Ltd* > > > ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
