Ta Akzle/Big Dog - food for thought
Did try Robocopy - results seemed a big vague - I was trying to synch Laptop (Vista) and Windows 8 with approx. 1TB of data
I should have done a small section to make sure but I was under pressure. I was getting worried I would loose everything as previous backups had failed to finish for unknown reasons in the middle of the night.
Even worked along side it for 12 hours no problem, went home crashed approx. an hour after WTF!
I have a very small network here I want to automatically backup 5 computers and swopp a NAS / synch it with at least another while doing FileHistory at the same time.
If its raining on the weekend - I will give it a run again and look at rsync/grsync as well.
The WD NAS Mirror drive is much quicker when used as a straight drive via a network cable direct to computer.. Its a good system for novices like me.
home use would be a piece of cake.
I have all but given up on the Smartware (Too many files - 1.8M over 930 GB space, lots of file changes per day 500 per day typical, I think it struggles to keep track of it all.)
Big Dog, link is a great help - I didn't know about all the multiple commands - I remember some of the DOS ones but the CPM ones are a bit vague
