Robocopy only new files

We manage a client site that has a file & print server on-site and our intention is to move their files / data to a centralised server at our data center.As the client has a very slow internet connection (adsl @ 5mbps), my boss has visited site to copy the data to an External USB Hard Disk.I've copied the data my boss had collected to the centralised server at the data center via USB. I now need to copy all the new files / changed files since my boss had taken the initial copy/seed of the data over the internet. I will need to conduct the cutover data copy using Robocopy (Over the internet, using UNC path - We have a VPN connection setup to link the new servers).My question is, will the below robocopy command do delta's (Keeping in mind that the original copy method to usb was done using the standard windows drag and drop method):robocopy "\Source" "\Destination" /e /np /r:1 /w:1 /xo /log:BackupLog.txtI only want to copy new files / folders that exist at the source using robocopy over the internet, and not the whole 1TB data set.Thank you very much for your assistance.

I need a robocopy script that will run on startup and monitor for modified and new files in specified directories and sync these files instantly when they are detected. How the script will look like? I hope some more advanced user can help me with the code.

Is that possible?edit: I found how to make the script to run constantly - by using the /mon:1 parameter. But now the problem is that command prompt window stays open. Is there way to make the script to run without opening the command prompt window? --> Last edited by peter7277; 12 Apr 2019 at 09:06.

I also found that i can start .cmd script hidden with autohotkey script.But i have another issue. I am trying to monitor the files in two directories and i have these lines: Code: robocopy e:\dir1 e:\dir1 /mir /mon:1robocopy e:\dir2 e:\dir2 /mir /mon:1but when i start the script it monitors only the first directory and not second. Why is that?

Into the ROBOCOPY command. Tip The PAUSE command at the bottom of the .BAT file allows the cmd window to stay open after it has completed to allow me to see the output from ROBOCOPY. If I save the .BAT file to my Desktop, and run it by double-clicking it, then a cmd window is opened and the .BAT file executes the three ROBOCOPY commands as shown below. The same information is repeated for every ROBOCOPY line in the .BAT file. In order to utilise some of the powerful functionality in ROBOCOPY, I need to utilise some options in the ROBOCOPY command line. In this next example I want to edit my existing backup strategy such that:All sub-folders within my data folders are backed up, even if they are empty.The backup only copies newer files to my existing backup - this means a faster backup time.The percentage progress counter for copying is not shown - this neatens the overall appearance of the ROBOCOPY information, and creates a smaller log file.The information normally echoed to the cmd window is saved to a log file that I can examine at a later stage.In order to do this, I need to specify some additional options in my ROBOCOPY commands like this: Code: robocopy E:\Data1 G:\Backups\Data1 /e /mir /np /log:backup_log.txtrobocopy F:\Data2 G:\Backups\Data2 /e /mir /np /log+:backup_log.txtrobocopy F:\Data3 Q:\Backups\Data3 /e /mir /np /log+:backup_log.txtpauseWhere:/e = copy all sub-folders, even empty ones/mir = mirror (check the files in the destination, and only copy newer files)/np = no progress counter/log: = create a logfile Tip Note the use of the /log+: option in the 2nd and 3rd line of the .BAT file. This option ensures that the results of the 2nd and 3rd ROBOCOPY are appended to the log file created in the 1st ROBOCOPY line, meaning I only need one log file to capture all the information I backup. The log file is always saved to the same folder as the .BAT file - in my case, the folder is saved to my Desktop. Since the output from ROBOCOPY is written to the log file, the cmd window will not display the output from ROBOCOPY. If I wish to have this information written to both the log file and the cmd window for visual tracking of the backup process, then I can add the /tee option to each line in the .BAT file, as shown below. Code:
