Recommended Posts

Posted

Where can I download a copy of Robocopy for Windows 2000 Server? I need to

copy from a one LUN on a W2K to another LUN on the same W2K server.

 

Or will the one in the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit work on Windows

Server 2000?

The usual trick is to type this into a Google search box:

download "robocopy.exe".

AFAIK, then one you mention works. Give it a try!

Thank you I will give it a shot. I have another question. If a volume has

files at the root that are not in a directory do I need to use the syntax

robocopy U:*.* M: /<switches> to get the files at the root to copy over? Or

does robocopy not recognize the *.* wildcard for copying?

Robocopy does recognise wildcards but not the way you use them. If you read

the robocopy help file then you will immediately see what I mean:

 

ROBOCOPY source destination [file [file]...]

 

"Source" and "destination" are directories. They can't have wildcards. The

[file] spec can.
