Support Script Robocopy

Hi!.
I have a script with robocopy as follows:
robocopy.exe source destination /MIR /SEC /CopyAll /V /TEE /B /MAXAGE:1 /W:5
/R:1

running at 00.01h and copy the modified files to another folder, then run
the wzzip.exe and taking them to another location via FTP.

Now I have to perform the same operation, but at 20.00h, and I need a
different folder, ONLY 0.00-20.00 modified files from the same day.

As I do?

Use the /maxage:1 switch.

But this option brings the modified files also the day before.
What I need is for example.

Day: 16-09-2009.
ONLY synchronize files to other folder modified 16-09-2009 day from 00.00
until at 20.00h

Below is the full log of the test I ran before I posted my reply:

Directory of D:\Tue
Tue 15/09/2009 09:45 108 sub.txt
Wed 16/09/2009 09:44 2,275 set.txt

robocopy d:\tue d:\tue1 *.* /maxage:1

Directory of D:\Tue1
Wed 16/09/2009 09:44 2,275 set.txt

I suggest you run a similar test, then post the result here in support of
your claim.

Perhaps we use different versions of robocopy. Here are the details of my

The only suggestion I can make is for you to examine your file dates in more
detail. On my machine the default appears to imply the /tw switch for the
"dir" command. Perhaps your machine uses /tc or /ta. This would explain the
discrepancy between robocopy.exe and the "dir" command.

As I said before, I have no further explanations for the difference in
behaviour of robocopy.exe. I can see these options for you:
a) Live with the problem.
b) Investigate robocopy.exe in more detail, e.g. by using different values
for the /maxage parameter and by running the command on different machines
with different operating systems and different files.
c) Write your own recursive VB Script code and make it date-sensitive.
d) Use a different copy tool, e.g. xcopy.exe or xxcopy.exe.
