That would be my solution as well. Another alternative is rsync, but I'm not
sure whether it can preserve file attributes on NTFS file systems. It's the
standard solution on UNIX (including Linux and Mac) systems.

My favorite utility for something like this where you want the exact same
contents on y:\utilities as you have on x:\utilities is robocopy:
Robocopy x:\utilityes y:\utilities /mir
The /mir switch will mirror the source to the target.

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Xcopy question
Hello everyone,
I use a bat file with an xcopy command to copy the contents of a folder on
one nas drive to another. It does not tseem to copy new sub folders. My
command line is as follows with I believe appropriate switches. Is xcopy
the best route to go for this kind of procedure. I try to run the command
every month or so to get a backup of my main utilities folder. It's around
150 Gb. New files within existing folders copy no problem but new
subfolders and their contents do not. they seem to just get ignored.
Thanks for any advice.
xcopy "x:\utilities\*.*" y:\utilities\" /s /d /c /y
Troy
