Robocopy Syncronization

[brownzie]

I have a question in regards to the robocopy product. I want to Syncronize a directory between two servers. I do not want to copy from one over to the other. I want this to see all the new and changed items on both sides and sync them up. Is this realistic with Robocopy or do I need a more robust tool to handle this opperation.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Works very well. Robocopy will test for file date and length, so if the content of the file has been changed, but not the length or the filedate, there could be problems. Use the /L option to compare two dirs.

We use Data Replicator from purenetworking.net. It does the trick

Thanks mousseman and asmith1972.

I decided to use the Robocopy utility and do a bi-directional sync. I did this by comparing one dir to the other and then only copying the new and changed items to destination DIR. Then I turned around and did the same in the other direction which keeps both DIR'S mirrored.

Thanks
