Just be sure that you do not get the source and destination the wrong way around. This means that it will make anything from the source directory to be reflected exactly the same way in the destination directory. I centralize a backup, from the various storage locations I have (NAS, data drives, system drive) and that backup I include in my Livedrive backup plan.Īnyway, one of the primary reasons for using Robocopy, rather than many other free backup products out there, is that it does a mirror backup. Personally, I use Robocopy to take local backups. I use Robocopy in combination with online backup. Instead of spending a lot of time figuring out the syntax parameters you can use my commands. In the end, they use the same command line tool. The link is provided in the bottom of this article. But if you feel like, you can have a look at them. Some guys at Microsoft made a graphical user interface for Robocopy, but it doesn’t give me the flexibility that I need. Robocopy has always had an answer for a problem. And then it’s free – I love free software too.
I must admit that Robocopy really does a more than a great job and I love it. But, I have come to love them again (?), even if it seems a super outdated technology in the age of the smartphone. It is a command line tool.Ĭommand line tools seems to be hot again, and I really really hated them for a long period of time. Robocopy is a fantastic piece of software, there is only one major flaw.
