xcopy question

[Guest KDawg44]

Hi,

 

I have a server that a bunch of people access. They have read access

to a folder. I have another server that a small group accesses and

stores image files on. I have a batch file that uses xcopy to copy

the files up to the first server once a week. My question is: is

there a switch so that xcopy only copies the files that have changed?

or does it do this by default?

 

Thanks.

Have a look at the output from xcopy /? | more. You will want one

of the first three switches. My favourite is the third.
