Morning all,

I recently replaced a terastation at work from a 1TB station to a 2TB station.

I copied everything from one to the other but due to the amount of data this took a couple of days to do.

My problem is that I couldn't stop users form accessing the 1TB station while the copying was happening and now I fear that the new terastation might have older version of files that where opened before the copying started and then saved to the 1TB station after it finished.


I'd like to run robocopy to scan the 1TB station and copy anything that is newer than (or don't exist) onto the 2TB station.

I'm having trouble getting the syntax right.

robocopy M:\ N:\ *.* /XO ???????

Cheers in advance
 
i ended up using robocopoy M:\ N:\ *.* /E /Z /XO


it seems to be filling in the blanks, so I'm going to let it run.

Cheers anyways though :)
