Script Help

[martix]

I wanna put a syncronization script on my computer to rid me of a very annoying task.

Its supposed to copy all files(except one) from a certain folder to another folder, overwriting any existing files in the process.

This happens at logoff time(that part is covered).

Windows brefcase does this i believe.

Somehow I doubt that... the word "syncronize" just seemed best for the occasion, don't associate it wrongly.

It is very simple to write a script that copies all files to another destination. However, the except one clause is the problem. I cannot see how this can be done in a script; you may have to write a program for this.

I use a program called "Second Copy" which automatically copies all files that have changed since the last back-up to a prescribed destination. You can set it up in a number of ways to copy files and it will easily do what you ask.

Mine is set up to copy all changed or new files on my D: drive - except some specified ones - to an external USB drive each time I shut down the computer. It also deletes or moves from the external drive any files that have been deleted or moved on the source
