:: This is a sample robocopy script. All things that appear after a double colon are comments.
:: You can get ROBOCOPY.EXE and ROBOCOPY.DOC from the NT Resource Kit or from the Internet.

:: It is a great utility that can be used to mirror a source directory in one location to
:: a destination directory in another location.
:: It is recommended to become a bit familiar with the tool before using it due to its power. See ROBOCOPY.DOC.

:: ______________________________________________________________________________________________

:: Example below

robocopy "C:\Documents and Settings\%Username%\My Documents" H:\MyDocuments /v /mir /z /np /r:2 /log:C:\Temp\BackupLog.txt

:: The above command will replicate the local user My Documents directory to a folder on the person's
:: H: drive. Results are logged to a text file in the local C:\Temp directory.
:: This replicates only the changed data in a restartable mode. This is very useful in cases of a temporary
:: network outage.

:: Remember that the larger the amount of changed data you are trying to replicate, the longer it will take.
:: If you have a 300 MB PST, it will take a while to copy that each day because the file changes every day,
:: thus will be copied every day.

:: REMEMBER THAT FILES THAT ARE OPEN CANNOT BE COPIED. YOUR EMAIL MUST BE CLOSED.
