Thanks for the reply, The source are files that have not been touched in 6yrs. In any case, no matter what tools you use, test first to ensure you are absolutely certain what it's going to do when you apply it to 80K files. This could be done using a plain old copy in Windows, but if you don't want to have to wait for the first collision to say whether or not you want to overwrite files or keep both, you may want to look at RichCopy. I'm assuming you'll want to keep a newer one, but do you also want the old one in the folder with a different name (like filename-old.ext)? If they are going back into folders that contain new files, you'll have to decide whether to keep the newer one or overwrite. This isn't a very big deal, however, if you're careful.Īre these files going into folders named the same as the archive where they can potentially overwrite a newer file? If not, it should be a pretty straightforward copy.
But after comparing the Technical-Library to the Technical-Library-US_1 everything merged fine and kept the more recent versions and looking at the log everything seemed to work out.Īs always, backups are a good idea to get you back to where you are. I will keep that folder call Technical-Library-US_1 for a while just incase something got messed up.
Robocopy 'D:\Technical-Library-US_1\Technical Library' D:\Technical-Library /e /xc /xn /xo /log+:C:\robocopy\tech_lib2.log Then to merge all those files from the Technical-Library-US_1 folder that was now sitting in the D volume back into the Technical-Library share I ran this Robocopy D:\empty D:\Technical-Library\Technical-Library-US /mir Robocopy D:\Technical-Library\Technical-Library-US D:\Technical-Library-US_1 /mir /sec /log+:C:\robocopy\tech_lib.logĪfter that I then used robocopy to delete all those files from the Technical-Library-US I created a new folder in the D volume of the file server called "Technical-Library-US_1 and then used this command to copy all the files Well inside that share we had another folder called Technical-Library-US and then inside that folder was another folder called Technical-Library and inside that folder was the same file structure as the parent share. In the file server we have a share called Technical-Library. I few months back I backed up all that data from the NAS and moved it to our WS 2016 file server. One of our branch offices in the US used to have a NAS on-site with same file structure that our file server had for our engineers. I just had to do something very similar to this.
