Anyone knows how to user robocopy in detail. Need to know the switches too.

Thanks
 
On the NT Resource Kit CD there is full documentation for Robocopy.

The main switches are :
/S : copy subdirectories excluding empty ones
/E : copy subdirectories including empty ones
/T : time stamp all files
/R:n : number of retries
/W:n : wait time between retries
/REG : save /R and /T in the registry as defaults
/Move : move files and directories - delete from source after moving
/ETA show estimated time of copy

Usage:

Robocopy source destination [options]

Robocopy will work as a scheduled job. Just ensure that the user has appropriate access to the files being copied or moved.

Let me have your e-mail address and I will send you the full documentation
