Hi, I am using robocopy to keep my primary drives and my backup drives in sync. I used to use the GUI version, but that seems unstable on win10, so I've switched to the command line option. It this is not the right Forum, please guide me to the right one.
When I sync files, I don't care about anything else, but the file size of my files. I am really missing a robocopy which allows me to do so. My problem (like so many others I have seen reporting the same problem), is that robocopy seems to react on timestamps that are not visible using the "Normal" tools. Copying large files, means that the change timestamp on the dest files will be later than the source files, meaning that robocopy, alone for that reason, will copy the same file next time. I have tried almost all combinations on the options without achieving the perfect result: Purge files to a destination drive, just classifying files based on the file size, and absolutely nothing else.
Any suggestions?
