#EMCOPY EXE FTP UPDATE#
de - Compares both file size and last modification time when deciding to update a file, updates it if either have been changed. sdd forces the target directories dates to be synchronized with the source directory.
purge removes files and directories from the destination that do no exist in the source. In this case I'm coping entire drives (F: drive) from a remote server to the local server \\\F$ F:\ - Source path followed by destination path. I'll break that down in logical blocks, not necessarily how it's listed above: emcopy.exe \\\F$ F:\ /o /secforce /s /de /sd /c /r:1 /th 16 /cm md5 /purge /sdd I placed EMCopy on the server I wanted to move files to, and used the following. If you know where to download a current/new version, or even an offical link to 4.17, please comment below. While I found links and Knowlege Base articles indicating this should be in the support tools section, a search for "EMCOPY" comes up with nothing. The EMC site no longer works, everything has been moved behind Dell's support portal.

I couldn't find where on EMC's site they had the newest version, but searching the support forums I came across a direct link. This is just my recommendation and an example of how it's being used in my environment. Other people have done more in depth comparisons of the various tools. I came across a few recomendations for EMCopy 1 2 3. My requirements were that the tool had to copy security permissions for the shared folders, had to be able to copy across the network, and needed to be able to sync just deltas so we didn't have to copy hundreds of GB's every time something changed. I started down the path of finding the best tool for the job, Googling Robocopy, XCopy, RichCopy, etc.
#EMCOPY EXE FTP UPGRADE#
There are lots of third-party tools would fit the bill, too.Recently I was tasked with syncing some shared drives so we could upgrade a server. (You can obtain ImageX from Microsoft inside various packages- the Windows Automated Installation kit contains a copy and, I believe, it's also included in Windows Deployment Services). If your definition of "exact structure" is less rigorous and you're just looking for an exact copy of the directory structure, file data, attributes (including compression), and ACLs I'd look at a disk-imaging tool. A tool like dd will let you do sector-for-sector copying of volumes. In terms of copying the "exact structure" of the disk, a sector-for-sector copy would be the way to go. (I could imagine some kind of script that would use robocopy with the the /ia command-line argument to copy only compressed files first, compress all the copied-files, then run robocopy again using the /xa argument to copy the non-compressed files.) If you're going to use robocopy you'll need to script something to follow-up behind it compressing files/folders that require compression.
#EMCOPY EXE FTP WINDOWS 7#
(I just tested with the version that ships with Windows Server 2012 R2 just to be sure that a version newer than my Windows 7 laptop still did not include this behavior.) I am not aware of any version of robocopy that supports copying the Compressed attribute.
