I recently had a similar task and was looking at RSYNC as the solution however you can't filter RSYNC operations with a date range so I ended up using ROBOCOPY with great success. I can't disclose the details but it scans a large number of directories looking for new files, it has to sort through about 4 million files and on average finds about 20,000 new files daily to sync up. The whole operation takes less than 2 hours. From what I read it will be included in Vista if/when it is released :-P You can download it from M$FT and if you Google it you will find plenty of examples. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&displaylang=en > Nick > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > > Of Ted Roche > > Sent: 02 September 2006 20:42 > > To: profox@leafe.com > > Subject: Re: Move directories > > > > On 9/2/06, Chet Gardiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > Not to mention how long would it take to install rsync on > a windoze > > machine? > > > > > > > You mean, like, by using one of the pre-built installers available > > from the links on the original post?
