Solved ROBOCOPY - /MOV to two destination folders

[robocopy]

Hi there,

New to the forum, please go easy

I've got a robocopy moving a file using /MOV from one folder to another.

Is it possible to add a second destination so that the contents of the original folder will be moved to both destination folders? How would the syntax look? (below is current syntax)

robocopy "\\source path" "\\destination path" /S /E /V /NP /MOV /XD in /R:10 /W:30

Thanks

Hi mate.

You could do two things:

1. You can try to use ROBOMOJO to run multiple robocopy jobs
more info here: Running multiple Robocopy jobs in one batch file

or

2. You can run two separate robocopy jobs, with 10 minute interval between them.
Check this post: One source to multiple destinations with Robocopy

Hope this helps.

Thanks sandravlado.

Looks like the first option will do the trick. Just need to remove /MOV from first job on the batch file so it only copies and then the second one copies and deletes original.


robocopy "\\source path" "\\1st destination path" /NP /R:10 /W:30

robocopy "\\source path" "\\2nd destination path" /S /E /V /NP /MOV /XD in /R:10 /W:30
