[Aslamvs]

Here is the situation:

I am trying to copy few files from the network share to remote server in a specified path and i want to take backup of the existing files to remote share and copy new files.

for example.
ext.dll - to be copied from \\remote-01\release\1\dll
existing dll \\remote-02\d$\2\dll\ext.dll - backup this file on \\remote-01\release\1\rolback\dll
and then copy the new file from \\remote-01\release\1\dll

is it possible through command line or vbscript.
I need to copy same file on many servers in network on frequest basis.

any help will be appritiated.

Thanks!

I am able to create a script however it doesnt show any result but it copies the files to network drive.. i can do this using a batch file as well lieke:
xcopy \\server\share\x.txt \\server\share\x.txt >>log.txt.

in log its says 1 files copies.

How do i log the result in vbscript?
Any idea?


Thanks!

Use ROBOCOPY for this. It has all the features you need to be able to minimize copy times by excluding unchanged files in the copy.

I hope you find this post helpful.
