Teracopy is a great program too but robocopy has the function I require

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Windows 2003 R2 Servers.<br />
<br />
I run a scipt that copies a folder from a NAS drive to a USB drive for a backup copy.<br />
<br />
Example<br />
<br />
teracopy.exe copy n:\photos &quot;d:\photo backup&quot; /overwriteall /close &gt;c:\util\photo.log<br />
<br />
It copies all the photos every time 5000 in total.<br />
<br />
Would like a way to compare both folders and then only copy the files that have changed or have been added.<br />
<br />
Maybe a script that could feed the teracopy program <br />
<br />
Any ideas?

Script Needed Compare to folders

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

VB Script

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.

Shell Scripting

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.
