If it's just a data disk, then yes. It wouldn't work for a bootable system disk, since it just copies files and folders, rather than doing do a low level duplication of the disk. For that, you'd want a utility such as Ghost. You'll need to do each partition on the drive if you have more than one. robocopy E:\ F:\ /mir This will copy all folders and files, including empty ones and will also remove any files and folders on F:\ that aren't on E:\ (equivalent to /e /purge). -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40281 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
