now lets say in 2 weeks, i want to copy the same source and target files BUT COPY ONLY what is NEW and has CHANGED. the entire directory is about 1.5TB large. i do not want to have to copy all 1.5TB again. the change or deltas should only be about 10GB max.
thanks
thanks
Just run the same command again. Robocopy will by default skip files that already exist in the target folder (you'll see these in the column "skipped" in the copy summary at the end).
If you want to remove files in the target that have been deleted in the source, add /mir to the arguments. This will make (pretty) sure that source and target will be identical after the copy. Without /mir, any files that have been deleted or moved in the source after the first copy will remain in the target.

use below switch.
/minlad:<N>
## Specifies the minimum last access date (excludes files used since N) If N is less than 1900, N specifies the number of days. Otherwise, N specifies a date in the format YYYYMMDD.
OR
/xo
## Excludes older files.
