Simple Script for noob.

[netcrammer]

I want to run a script that would basically do a folder sync for me:
NO DELETIONS, missing files on either side get copied.

I presently use the Synchronize>Folder sync to do a manual "update both" from Drive A (left folder) to Drive B (right folder) (no filters).

Thanks!:D

Here's an example script to duplicate the behavior of an interactive "update both":

load c:\folder1 c:\folder2
sync update:all

To run the script, save it as a text file and use the command:
bcompare.exe @c:\script.txt

This will copy files with newer timestamps and files that only exist on one side to the other side.

this lauches a window with no results. I created some files on B which DID NOT copy to A.

It might help to add a few things to the script, here's a revised version:

log verbose c:\logfile.txt
option confirm:yes-to-all
criteria timestamp
load c:\folder1 c:\folder2
sync update:all

This should copy files with newer timestamps between sides and orphan files between sides. The "option confirm:yes-to-all" will confirm any file operation prompts, and the log should show any files that are copied.

Also, BC's default settings should compare timestamps, but I added the "criteria timestamp" command in case you've changed the default settings.
