I concur. I've been using robocopy to do this since the year 0. It's
great - will copy security as well. robocopy /??? will give you all
the parameters.


Normally I use -

robocopy <source>\ <destination>\ /e /r:1 /w:1

you can also use /mir if you want to mirror/sync deletions on the
source w/those on the destination.

Robocopy is an excellent tool. There's also a GUI version. However, I'm sure
you were already aware of it, Lanwench, and I usually opt to use the CLI
version. I just thought to provide an alternative if the poster is not
comfortable with the CLI version.

btw- OT - I've never asked a woman how old she is, however if you've used it
since day 0, I can now calculate your age based on the Earth's estimated
age, ... or is it the Universe's age since day 0? :-)

Just kidding! :-) I hope you had a nice New Years!
