Searchin for a good VBS-Synchronize script by Armanius on 07-03-2008 at 11:30 AM
i'm searching for a Synchronize script for our Company.
When running the normal Windows-Synchronisation, it takes a lot of work-time and we don't have that much time.
Our company is a Digital-Dental-solution provider for Hospitals, Dentists, jaw surgery and Orhtopedi, so we are always in the move.
What does the script have to do:
- Copy folder/files from Workstation to Server
- Replace the old with the new files
- Delete "out of date" files
anybody have an idea?
friendly greetings,
E. de Zeeuw

There are tons of programs which can do that. Google: "syncronization" or "syncronize files"
A VBS script isn't going to be any faster, in fact, since it is a script, it will actually be running much slower.
The time it takes to actually copy the stuff to the server will not improve, no matter what script or program you use, it will always be a bottleneck and it will always be the same speed since everything (script or program or whatever) must always do the same thing: copying.

yeah you gotta a point there, but the script runs in the background and unnoticed.
the standard windows syncroniser, popups and only does it when you log off.
A script can be placed at the system-startup, in the background and can be run every time you want it to run by minutes, hour or days.
that's the idea behind it.

I can recommend SyncBackSE. This application is very good, it supports not only Backup but also Synchronization. It can backup to .ZIP files, it can backup when files change locally (immediate backup or sync to the storage system).
I am using it for some time now to sync from my workstation to my NAS and my USB. As soon as I plug the USB stick in, the sync starts.
Works perfectly!
