the production server and stage server are windows 2007 servers. How do you regularly copy volumes (electronic files, pages, full text, thumbnails ) from production server to stage server? is there any batch/script to share? or third party tool?

thanks in advance!

Hi Lina,

I do this all the time, and I use Robocopy to do this, a free tool from Microsoft already loaded on the server/s as part of the OS. Exact details on how to use this is here:-

Hope this helps!

HI, Chris:

thanks for your answer. I did a full volume backup by robocopy, the command script always faster than GUI. may I know how do you do the differential back up by robocopy?

this is my syntax for the FULL backup, in case there is anyone needs it.

robocopy \\source-device-ip\path\to\share\folder C:\destination-device\path\to\store\files /MIR /V /MT:64 >> C:\externalbackup.log

Notice the change from “>” to “>>”. This means that it will continue on the log from before.
I used ‘>”, it would delete the log and start all over.

thanks

Hi Lina,

I use this one:-

robocopy.exe "SOURCE" "DESTINATION" /e /zb /copyall /r:6 /w:5 /MT:8 /tee /log+:"C:\Robocopy\Robocopylogfile.txt"

And just run the same thing whenever I want the delta changes. This won't delete from the destination, but that's a small price to pay, you can always use VCC to tidy things up later on.
