Robocopy seems to work extremely well, has anybody seen any troubles using
it at all?
Is robocopy any less good than rsync?
I think, but am not sure, that robocopy checks file / date times (modified
or created) and then only acts if these provide a trigger. I don't think
that a binary difference in the file (like a corrupted file) will be picked
up if the date times are identical -- is this the same with rsync? Or am I
incorrect with my theory with any of this?
