Will it report errors if anything untoward happens?

RoboCopy has a comprehensive selection of LOG Commands that can be used to report on a variety of the processes performed. You will find the Commands at the bottom of the documentation links posted above.

No, I use RoboCopy for all complex copying needs.

You could too. Example

Code:

RoboCopy "D:\Desktop\Whatever" "A:\UtilityBackup\Wherever" /MIR

RoboCopy has much more sophisticated capabilities but this is a basic command that will do most things you need.
I do not understand why you don't want to use it.

Hi Denis,

The link I posted is for RoboMirror. It's based on Robocopy. You might want to take a closer look at it? They just put lipstick and a pretty face on Robocopy. So yeah, I agree. Robocopy is very powerful. (I've looked at Teracopy, Copywhiz, and Fastcopy since the hours from my last post. I think RoboMirror should do it since apparently one can use all of Robocopy's switches with it which is plentiful).

I don't want to use the commandline version for the same reason I gave up decades of experience as a system administrator for Solaris and AIX (both unix) and Novell networks. I simply got burned out with command lines in Linux too. I guess you can say I'm rebelling against command lines in my wiser age? Lol.

If the OP is willing to use third-party freeware, consider the following:

SyncBackFree - free online data backup software for Windows

It will not ask questions during operations. It will bring up a report after operations if errors/warnings have arisen.

Thanks Matthew. But SyncBackFree is backup software? Backup software is different from file replication or file mirroring. I'm looking for a file replication software which does not compress files in the target destination. I already have backup software which I would highly recommend: Macrium Reflect (payware).

I have to check that out. I didn't know. Thank you again.

George,

I already had. I'm not interested in it at all.
