Copy files: Overwrite all older than XX seconds/minutes/h...

Post by *frjd »

When i copy files from a USB key to my harddrive the file time on the harddrive is 2 older than the file just copied.

So next time when I want to update the files on the harddrive it copy all again because file that should have same age i 2 second older. I would like to be able to select "Overwrite all older then XX" where XX could be selected like in "Find files" advanced options. Or at least All older than 2 seconds to overcome the FAT / NTSF file time difference.

As you can conclude from this thread, even xxcopy can't find time gap between two files - only a file and NOW. Two-second time granularity is considered by xxcopy with the /FT switch (look here).

Take a look here:

You can add or reduce times of the files and make an identical file structure on your UBS.
