Backup software that will...

[Colbaker]

Hi all,

I have a NAS drive with a Pictures folder on it and i also have the same folder on my main pc, What i am looking for is a software that will only copy the new files from NAS folder to the other folder.

Anyone got any idea's which software will do this?

robocopy /e "c:\my folder\subfolder" "\\nasdevice\folder\subfolder"

robocopy is part of vista, if you're on xp, then drop this into c:\windows\system32

some nas devices won't work with this type of software, becuase they write their own stupid file time stamps, which is another reason why NAS suck

What a cool bit of software, Im impressed, It's also pretty speedy, Thanks.

Although does the /E tell it to copy only new files or will it copy everything? also will it look in subdirectories?

It seems to be working with my NAS, but it is still doing it and will probably take a while, It is not going to be deleting the files is it? only adding the new files on one folder to the other?
