Why not just copy and paste the file?, rather than all that hassle?

The second time you run it, it will only copy new and updated files.

You can also use Task Scheduler to run this command, personally, I like having a link on the Desktop that I can double click to start my backup.




IMO, it's safer to do backups like this, RAID1 can't undo deletion mistakes etc.


I typed all that up so you could grasp how to use a batch file.

A copy/paste job will take longer than robocopy and will prompt you for existing files etc.
 
but then the /MIR switch would still potentially copy/overwrite a corrupt file? there isn't any file versioning is there? its been a while since i used robocopy for something like this.

i used to use allway sync for things like this, it has options for file versioning and file deletion retention. you have to pay a small amount of you are syncing a lot of data.
 
It depends on the type of files you're using.

Being 2x6tb, I assume video files that aren't subject to change.
