Robocopy (help please)

[kvt]

Hi, I have 2 questions which I desperately need help with. Here's the question: 1. robocopy shoud Run in a separate terminal window and recheck file system changes every minute. 2. write a continous logfile that contains all detected file system changes including full pathnames of affected files. How do I do this?

This is one way, put this in a batch file:

:Start
robocopy command here
timeout 120 > nul
goto Start

Lots and lots of robocopy parameters, one of which is /log:file (file being the file you want info logged ion). > nul hides the Timeout in n seconds message.

I was given this:

Robocopy should be configured to:

- Copy the entire file structure, including all subdirectories and files of the source directory ('Files') to a separate target directory ('Files_Backup)

- Maintain all file information(such as timestamps and ownership) for copied files

- robocopy shoud Run in a separate terminal window and recheck file system changes every minute

- write a continous logfile that contains all detected file system changes including full pathnames of affected files.

*I was told that I could do all this using parameter, can I write this all in just one line and then copy it over into a batch script?

If you could give me an example to do this?
