Copying To Second Hard Drive Winston <ladderbpy[ at ]fakmail.com> 6/9/2007 7:30:15 PM I have many gigs of music and have the songs backed up on a second hard drive. Since I haven't backed up for several months, is there any method in XP Pro to ship ONLY the songs not already on tne second drive ?? Thanks for all responses.

Re: Copying To Second Hard Drive "JS" <[ at ]> 6/9/2007 7:56:06 PM A simple utility named SyncToy might do the job: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=E0FC1154-C975-4814-9649-CCE41AF06EB7&displaylang=en I would create a test case so that you can verify the results with each of Sync Toy's options, this way you will not put anything at risk.

RE: Copying To Second Hard Drive John Hensley 6/10/2007 4:01:02 PM You can do this from a command prompt using the Windows XCOPY command using the /D switch. For example to copy all of the new files from the current directory and all of its subdirectories on the C: drive to the "D:\Music Backup" directory on the second drive you would use this command from at the command prompt: XCOPY "C:*.*" "D:\Music Backup" /S /D -- John Hensley www.resqware.com "Winston" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I have many gigs of music and have the songs backed up on a second > hard drive.
