BTW the final options I ended up with:
Code:
--------------------
robocopy k:\ m:\ /mir /xd "System Volume Information" /log:"C:\Documents
and Settings\Mark\Desktop\Music Backup.log" /np /tee
--------------------
So that's:
- copying from k:\, my internal 250 GB music drive, to m:\, my external
backup drive
- /mir: mirroring the drives, which entails copying over all new files,
any file that has changed and deleting files in the destination that
have been deleted in the source
- /xd: ignoring the "System Volume Information" directory that Windows
XP puts in each drive yet is locked out
- /log: logging to a file on my desktop
- /np: don't show progress bars in the log (kind of useless after the
job is finished and you look at the file, no? :-) )
- /tee: display the progress on the screen. Useful to see what it's
currently doing. I suppose that might make the progress bars useful
again, but now that the bulk of my music collection is backed up there
will only be incremental changes from now on.
