batch backup

[chronicle]

Hi everyone

Searched the site 4 some batch files 4 windows, found this from Skeelo ->

@ECHO OFF
REM Change NETDIR to include the network path you want your backups stored in
set NETDIR=X:\Backups
ECHO Backing up %1 to %NETDIR% >>backups.log
date /t >> backups.log
time /t >> backups.log
echo +++>> backups.log
ECHO =================================================== >>backups.log
XCOPY %1 %NETDIR% /S /V /H /R /K /Y /C /I >>backups.log
ECHO =================================================== >>backups.log 
ECHO Backup Completed >>
backups.log
ECHO +++ >>backups.log
ECHO. >>backups.log
ECHO. >>backups.log
echo Backed up %1 to %NETDIR%

I really like the batch file, but my problem is this. The batch file just copies all existing files, not verifies if old ones have been delete. So if I delete a file in the original it still exists in the backup directory. Is there any command that can get past this?

thanks

Don't know why anybody would use xcopy... Have a look in the resource kit (NT4, probably Win2k) and see if you can find robocopy - it beats xcopy to a pulp!
