Hi All,

So I am just about to undertake a desktop refresh and am sure that somone must have created a similar script to do the following

Find all the local data by extensions modified in the last x months and then copy out to share

Provide a log of the copy
Provide a log of the excluded files

Having written a Kix app that scanned folder structures with tens of thousands of files in hundreds of folders to sync files between the US and Austrailia, the fastest way is to run "dir *.ext /S /B" with the WshPipe UDF and convert the response to an array for processing. The modified version of the WshPipe UDF on my web site returns an array of each line of output. It returns the complete path, simplifying the copy command.

Using Kix DIR (and the UDFs that employ them) are not nearly as fast. The other UDFs that use FSO are faster than the Kix DIR, but not as fast as the native DIR command, but do offer more options. I don't see the need for anything fancy here.. look for and copy one file extention type, then the next, and so on.

Well Robocopy can easily do this and is even native to Windows 7/Server 2008 computers and an available download for XP/Server 2003

Glenn often uses another similar tool but I could never get it to work the way he seems to use it.

If you're referring to Unison, it's not an appropriate choice for a simple copy. XXcopy or RoboCopy would do the job if you wanted everything. The "Dir" solution above allows you to obtain a list of potential files and then apply Kix logic to the copy/log operations.

Well for those interested here are a couple of files that can make using Robocopy to do jobs like this very easy. You can create multiple jobs and or different batch files to make specific command line calls, etc to run the job or all jobs.

Files need to be saved with the extension .RCJ

For XP and Server 2003 you will need to download the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools and install it.
System requirements
Supported operating systems: Windows Server 2003, Windows XP


Though it's probably way overkill for most, here are some links to read and learn more about Robocopy and file copy/storage in general.

Microsoft Robocopy






Main Robocopy job file
 Code:
:: Job file example by AdvancedSetup on 9/28/2012 6:00:00 PM
:: Example Robocopy job to copy a user profile from one computer or folder to another.
:: Robocopy Job C:\ProfileMoves\CopyProfiles.RCJ
::
:: Robocopy, or "Robust File Copy", is a command-line directory replication utility.
::
:: It has been available as part of the Windows Resource Kit starting with Windows NT 4.0,
:: and was introduced as a standard feature of Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.
::
:: Note - Hotfix update for Robocopy on Windows 7 / Server 2008 (updates to version 6.1.7601)
:: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2639043/en-us
::
::
:: Robocopy - Technet
:: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733145%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
::
:: Robocopy - Wikipedia
:: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocopy
::
::
:: The format of Robocopy Job Files is straightforward
:: They contain one Robocopy parameter per line (parameters containing colons, e.g. /LOG:logfile or /MAX:n, count as
:: one parameter and must be specified on a single line, with no spaces around the colon).
:: Leading white space is ignored, as is any text after two consecutive colons, which is considered to be a comment.
::
:: Files must be saved with the extenson .RCJ
::
::
:: Main options were left in this file to allow easier modifications if or when needed without having to
:: look them up again but can all be removed and simply the commands you want listed.
::
:: Example usage
:: (note that Robocopy can call Source and Destination from the command line for more flexibility or you can add it as part of the Job file)
::
:: Example command line to run to the job file using Robocopy.exe
:: ROBOCOPY.EXE "C:\USERS\JOHNDOE"  "\\SERVER\USERS\JOHNDOE" /job:C:\ProfileMoves\CopyCommands.RCJ /job:C:\ProfileMoves\FilesToCopy.RCJ
::
::
:: Usage               ROBOCOPY source destination [file [file]...] [options]
:: source              Source Directory (drive:\path or \\server\share\path).
:: destination         Destination Dir  (drive:\path or \\server\share\path).
:: file                File(s) to copy  (names/wildcards: default is "*.*").
::
::
:: Source Directory
:: "C:\USERS\JOHNDOE"
::
::
:: Destination Directory
:: "\\SERVER\USERS\JOHNDOE"
::
::
:: Copy options
::
:: /S                  copy Subdirectories, but not empty ones.
:: /E                  copy subdirectories, including Empty ones.
:: /LEV:n              only copy the top n LEVels of the source directory tree.
