robocopy help

I need a robocopy command to copy a specific set of folders from a c drive to a d drive. The command should check for new files and update them and purge from the D what is no longer on the C.

Type robocopy /? for a list of all the switches and how to use them. It's just a matter of combining the ones you want.

If you'd prefer to do it through the GUI, SyncToy sounds like it might work for what you want to do.

There are two different switches that will do what you want. Typing robocopy /help is the best way to get the details. It just so happens that the switch for purging files is "/purge".

I've just finsihed moving 2 Terabytes of data that way from an external SCSI array to our new SAN. I'm running a scheduled job each night to keep them in sync while I wait for backup testing and other analysis to complete.

There is also a mode that will overwatch the files in real time, if you need it to stay really up to date.
