[SOLVED] Recommendation on replication software

[extatic]

Hi Guys,

I would like to regularly and automatically copy two folders from drive A to drive B and would appreciate some recommendations.
When coming the folders, i would like the output to be Foldername + date. This way the files are not overwritten constantly.

Karen's replicator works great, but doesn't do this date concatenate option.

Thanks

Write a script, that does it and schedule it.
The script would be target folder creation and launching robocopy process. Basically 2 lines of code.

mkdir b:\targetfolder%date%​

robocopy a:\sourcefolder b:\targetfolder%date%​

Thanks mate, i will give this a try.

Having drives named A: and B: unless they are floppy drives may for historical reason lead to unpredictable problems.

Depending on the format of your system date, use of %date% may give reserved character problems, if your system date uses forward slash (/) as separator.

Thanks for the tip mate. Drive A and B was just for the example when typing it out
