/MIR mirrors a directory tree. The question was how to do the equivalent
of /D in xcopy, which is:
/D:m-d-y Copies files changed on or after the specified date.
If no date is given, copies only those files whose
source time is newer than the destination time.

Am I missing something, isn't that what /mir is supposed to do?

But I don't want to go back a specific date, I just want it to copy the
file and replace it if it's been changed.

/MAXAGE:n
Excludes files with a Last Modified Date older than n days or specified
date. If n is less than 1900, then n is expressed in days. Otherwise, n is
a date expressed as YYYYMMDD.

Another question about robocopy. How do you do the equivalent of and
xcopy /d in robocopy?

You need /MOVE see below. /MOV only does files. /MOVE does files and
directories:
/MOV Moves files (that is, deletes source files after copying).
/MOVE Moves files and directories (that is, deletes source files and
directories after copying).

I have a ROBOCOPY batch file question please:
C:\Parcams is a directory that accumulates dated security camera
snapshots.
The snapshots for each day are stored in a sub-directory, named after that
date,
i.e., C:\Parcams\parcams-12-30-2009
I have prepared a script for purging files and folders that are greater
than "n" days old.
However, I have not quite got the script right. It successfully deletes
the files
inside the dated directories, but it leaves the empty directories behind.

Here is the text of the script:
mkdir c:\dump
robocopy C:\PARCAMS C:\dump /E /MOV /MINAGE:60 /R:10
rmdir C:\dump /s /q
Here is a screenshot of the results of the batch file:

Any suggested tweaks? I'd like to have the script remove those empty
directories too.
Thanks! ~Greg
