Mirror is the option I think you are looking for, as in:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-41463823-1">robocopy &quot;\\network path&quot; &quot;C:\local path&quot; /mir /r:0 /z</code></pre>
<i><b>~bp</b></i>
</div>

robocopy "\\network path" "C:\local path" /mir /r:0 /z

~bp

/mir will do that; it includes &quot;/e&quot;.<br />
This will obviously <b>delete</b> files in the target; a useful option to test what would happen is &quot;/L&quot;, which will only list the files that would be copied, but not actually do anything.<br />
So anything the following command would list as *EXTRA would be deleted in a full run:<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-41463827-1">robocopy.exe &quot;\\network path&quot; &quot;C:\local path&quot; /mir /r:0 /z /L</code></pre>
</div>

It is supposed to copy over the file if there have been changes and erase over it if it exists at its destination!<br />
Is this correct?

Help with command line that was built to copy files if changes were done.

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.

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.
