Hello,
currently testing tools for COMPARING (not synchronizing) servers. I need to do the following:
a) make sure NO FILE OPERATIONS other than reading is done
(I'm using read-only share for that purpose)
b)
compare directory trees:
IF
file by same name exist in both trees
in same location,
THEN
BEGIN
IF size differs
THEN show as different files
ELSE
BEGIN
IF date differs THEN
BEGIN
automatically start background binary check
and as soon as a difference is found, show files
as different
END
END
END
ELSE
BEGIN
show any mismatches files/directories
which are found on one side only (source or target)
END
Once this works for two servers, I would have to apply
that comparing multiple servers...
If that is not possible,
it would help if I could reuse all exlusion features
(at there are many files in certain directories, like
exclude all *.log in \\srv\share\dir1\dir2\, which need
to be excluded - i.e. if possible use a common exlusion list, regardless of which 2 servers are being compared, so that I can apply any new to-exclude-findings ).
CAN IT BE DONE ?-)
(so far I use "robocopy /MIR /L" from Microsoft, but
this does not have an option to binary compare)
TIA
