teh_coder Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Hi all, I have a set of files on a server at work that get updated every few days from a second DEPT. and I need a way to copy only the changes to an USB HD, I would use a simple copy command but its over 30GB of data. I'm running windows :(. I was thinking of using something like rsync but I would really like it to run from the USB HD. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 It would be really easy to do this. (from what i understand) Make a Batch Script to Copy the Data to the USB Drive. (i would put this in C:) And then use the "at" command in command prompt to make the system do it every so often. I cannot remember how you use the "at" command. It was in one of the Season 1 Episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teh_coder Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 That would work but it would copy every last bit of the 30GB every time it ran. I only want to copy the files that have changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jool Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I use unison for something similar. With some appropriate command line switches it works fine from one drive to another without much hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
