Mirroring a directory

[nino15]

Hello,

I would like to make a vbs script that create a mirror of a directory (with folders, sub-folders, files ...) every day. Exactly like robocopy /mir can do...
Do you have any solutions ?

Is there some reason that you can't use Robocopy?

I will prefer to have all in one script file (not calling any exe). If i don't find solution, I will use robocopy

Well, if you were going to write one yourself, I would search this forum and especially look for FileSystemObject.

Simply use copyfolder method.

I wouldn't think that would be particularly efficient or accurate. If you don't tell it to overwrite, then newer files in the source folder will not be updated in the copy folder. If you do tell it to overwrite, then every file will be copied even if it did not need to be.

In addition, the /MIR option for robocopy will delete files in the target folder that no longer exist in the source folder. CopyFolder would not replicate this.

Okay, I don't read op's command line. Just send a lead. He has to make an effort of his own.
