Copy files using Powershell

  • Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out how to copy backup files from one shared location to another. I'm looking to be able to delete files at the destination, that no longer exist at the source, so what I'm looking for is for the destination to mirror the source location exactly. Thanks!

  • I've got just the thing for you. Check out the /MIR option. And, the three best things are 1) you probably already have it and 2) it's free and 3) it only requires a single command.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
