Information Directory

RoboCopy is one of the most efficient solutions to utilize for syncing directories on Windows

File-Sync.cmd
  • Monitors the source for any changes and logs whenever a file is copied to the destination
    • Date & Time: (Locale dependent)
      • %date%: Outputs a date in the following format: yyyy.MM.dd
      • %dtime%: Outputs time in the following format: HHmmss

    • Directories:
      • %Dest%: Destination Directory
      • %LogDir%: Log Directory
      • %Src%: Source Directory

    • RoboCopy:
      • %log%: Logging Options, outputs a log file in the following format YYYY.MM.DD_HHMMSS.log
        • /ETA: Show Estimated Time of Arrival of copied files
        • /LOG:: Output status to LOG file
        • /NP: No Progress - don't display percentage copied
        • /TEE: Output to console window, as well as the log file
          Helpful if needing to run from a terminal occassionally
        • /TS: Include source file Time Stamps in the output
        • /V: Produce Verbose output, showing skipped files

      • %opt%: Copy options
        • /MON: MONitor source; run again when more than n changes seen
        • /Z: Copy files in restartable mode

      • %what%: What to copy
        • /COPY:DAT: what to COPY for files (default is /COPY:DAT)
          Copy Flags: D=Data, A=Attributes, T=Timestamps
        • /DCOPY:DAT: Same as above, except for directories
        • /E: copy subdirectories, including Empty ones
        • /XD: EXclude Directories matching given names/paths
          Required if Log Directory is stored in the Source directory
        • /XN: eXclude Newer files

      • /SAVE: SAVE parameters to the named job file
        Outputs job file to: C:\ProgramData\Scripts\Robocopy\File-Sync.rcj
NoShell-RoboCopy.vbs
  • Runs File-Sync.cmd with no shell (intended for use when running File-Sync.cmd as a task). To execute: 
    wscript "C:\ProgramData\Scripts\Robocopy\NoShell-RoboCopy.vbs" "C:\ProgramData\Scripts\Robocopy\File-Sync.cmd"
File-Sync.xml
  • Task Scheduler task that runs 30s after login
