New Code: @echo off echo Back up C:\Users to B:\ echo ... echo ... echo ... echo Replacing oldest backup... robocopy B:\ne...

I am trying to make a batch script that will UPDATE the folder assigned to the computer. The folder is Z:\Data\Backups\(Computer) . If I use robocopy /mir will it delete files that were deleted on the computer? So far: @echo off echo Updating backup of files on Time Capsule... robocopy /mir echo Don...

is there a possible way to change it so it would detect subfolders and do those too (as another cab file) and then compress those cab files into another single cab file?

as in: Z: cd "Z:\..." robocopy "." "C:......" /mir ????? confused, but thanks for the idea. i think: [code]@echo off robocopy "Z:/..." "C:/users........" /mir[\code] would work much better. aGerman, or other expert, what do you think?

thanks, it should work

not sure (not familiar w/ zipping), but i would quess something along the lines of:

i want to create a batch file that syncs multiple folders, and i don't want to use the copy command, as that could create duplicates or errors (quessing). i also don't want to have to make an extra folder to sync. please help.

try removing the echo in a copy of the batch file. i am still a novice, but i see 2 commands, one after another, and i have found that doesnt really work.
