Looking for somebody with hands-on experience in robocopy.
I want to do the simplest of things, copy and paste, but the number of switches is confusing.
The setup:
On my Desktop, a path ....\BB-scans\ *.jpg (about 100.000 files)
On the server, a path .....\BB-scans\... already containing 250.000 other jpgs.
so:
robocopy BB-scans <serverpath>\BB-scans /NP
This does the job but ....
Why does it wait about 45 minutes before starting to copy?
Is it checking if there are any doubles ?
How can I avoid the waiting time, and make it start copying right away ?
thanks,
paul
