The initial run takes a while, of course, but subsequent runs takes (typically) seconds. Not an issue, considering the way we work. These options do not delete files in the backup copy, even if they have been deleted from the working copy. dcopy:t maintains identical time-stamps. e copies subdirectories, including empty ones. Robocopy “e:\shared\current files” “f:\data\current files” /e /dcopy:t /MT:8ĭrive e: is an internal SATA SSD, while drive f: is an external USB3.1 SSD Robocopy has been around for a while, Win7 at least. If you don't mind I'd like to see your configuration setup and I'm sure others would be interested as well.
Surprisingly, as a long-time user of Windows (since version 2-ish) I've never heard of Robocopy. My configuration is available if you are interested. Robocopy has many options/switches and this can be daunting. Typically, adding a day’s work to the backup takes less than a second. It runs incremental/cumulative backups, and takes advantage of multi-threading. I’ve been using Robocopy for some time now, it’s free, as it’s a built-in Windows program. I'm interested in hearing any feedback on FreeFileSync and other free alternatives. Many articles on the best sync software don't mention it and many of the reviews I found were very old. I did some web searching and found few mentions of it or recent reviews. Ideally, I would enter a source (local) and target (external) directory, click Go and the program would determine which files were different and copy the source files to the external drive.Ī recent thread mentioned the FreeFileSync program: I'm interested in a free, simple and reliable Windows program to back up files on a local hard drive to an external drive.
