| 712032 | 2008-10-14 00:23:00 | I use a freeware program called Karen's Replicator from www.karenware.com which I use in XP. Am not sure how it runs in Vista though. It is so much better than SyncToy. |

| 712033 | 2008-10-14 03:05:00 | I've always used the freeware version of Syncback. Found it very reliable and better than SyncToy. There is always a copy of it on the PCWorld DVD. | AvonBill (11358) | ||
| 712034 | 2008-10-14 06:42:00 | I use synctoy but just call it manually and I find it great for what I am doing very easy to configure and use | gary67 (56) | ||
| 712035 | 2008-10-14 16:28:00 | I created this batch file after looking at a similar issue in another thread to copy files from a directory to a drive where I wanted to retain multiple copies - hence I create the directory with a date based sub-directory U : \ = the USB drive letter @echo off color 12 set folder=%date : ~10,4%_%date : ~4,2%_%date : ~7,2% : Sets the folder variable, uses US date format, MM/DD/YYYY IF EXIST DirectoryName GOTO End mkdir u : \Backups\%folder% echo Made dated folder, date used is %folder% cd c : \<directorytocopy>\ xcopy /s *.* u : \Backups\%folder%\ echo Files have been copied pause GOTO Finish : End Echo The Directory already exists !!!!!!!! : Finish |

| 712036 | 2008-10-14 23:17:00 | Be carefell.. There is a bug in xcopy that it will simply stop the copy part way through under certain circumstances (see my earlier post for a reference). Ive seem this happen a few times on different PC's. With XP, xxcopy is a better alternative (not for Vista unfortunately) |
