Guest Paul Sturge Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 I am in the proccess of setting up a NAS on our network to use as a read only archive of older project files. I was looking for the best way to acomplish this. I have looked at robocopy and it seems like it may do the job. Does it maintain the directory structure and can it delete the source files after a successfuly copy? Are there any other products out there I could look into. Thanks in advance for any help. Paul

Have a look at the help file to see what switches you need to use.
