darphboubou darphboubou Just in Town Registered: 2016-05-22 Posts: 2 Loc: paris	Hi, I tried to move some file between two folder. i use this command to do it: MOVE "$src." "$dst" /c /h /r It's works fine. But the problem is when the file already exist on the destination folder, the destination file is overwrite by the source one". I try to find how to keep the most recent file on the destination folder (if the source file is older than the destination one". Could you help me? regards

Example usage robocopy "c:\test" "\\server\share\folder" /s /xo /xj /r:0 /w:0 Edited by NTDOC (2016-05-24 10:09 PM)

For those not running it in service mode. At least that's what some guy from Microsoft said years ago. Great program overall. Glad they chose to make it part of the OS install.
