Robocopy files from source to destination;

Robocopy files from source to destination;

In times, you might need to move folders/files from location A to location B. Following server will be perfect fit for the mission. When running the script you will need to adjust two variables

#(1)_. Add vars, surce and destination $dataSouce   = '\\SourceServer\d$\Scripts\' $dataDestin  = '\\DestinServer\d$\'

The Function I have created called “Function-RoboCopy.ps1” will use following variables.

Function-RoboCopy -SourcePath $dataSouce -DestinationPath $dataDestin -LogPath $LogFile

Rest of the script is also pretty easy to read. I will be adding few other functions to make sure source exist, , script will stop is it does not. Destination folder will also be created, assuming path is accessible.

Here it comes;

#(1)_. Add vars, surce and destination $dataSouce   = '\\SourceServer\d$\Scripts\' $dataDestin  = '\\DestinServer\d$\' #(2)_.Construct Log file $timestamp = (Get-Date -format 'dd-MMM-yyyy-HH-mm-ss-') $fileName  = 'RoboCopy.LOG' $logname   = $timestamp+$Filename  $LogFile   = ($dataDestin +$logname ) #(3)_.Function-Check-Source if does not exist, stop    Function Function-Check-Source{     [CmdletBinding()]   param(     [parameter(      Mandatory         = $true,      ValueFromPipeline = $true)]       [string]$SourcePath) Try{   If (!(Test-Path $dataSource)){      Write-Host 'CANNOT locate file' -ForegroundColor White -BackgroundColor Red      Write-Host 'Script will stop' -ForegroundColor Yellow      break;      } }catch{        $errormessage = $($PSItem.ToString())     Write-Warning 'Error has occoured'     Write-host 'Problem FOUND:' $errormessage -ForegroundColor Red -BackgroundColor Black    } }

#(4)_.Function to check/create destination folder    Function Function-create-ReportFolder{     [CmdletBinding()]   param(     [parameter(      Mandatory         = $true,      ValueFromPipeline = $true)]       [string]$ReportPath) Try{ if (!(Test-Path -Path $ReportPath)) {   New-Item -Type Directory -Path $ReportPath -ErrorAction Stop | Out-Null } }catch{        $errormessage = $($PSItem.ToString())     Write-Warning 'Error has occoured'     Write-host 'Problem FOUND:' $errormessage -ForegroundColor Red -BackgroundColor Black    } }

#(5)_.Function-Copy-Scripts source/Destination    function Function-RoboCopy{   [CmdletBinding()]   param(   [Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]   [String]$SourcePath,   [String]$DestinationPath,   [String]$LogPath     )       $Options   = ("/B","/MIR", "/XJ", "/FFT", "/R:0", "/LOG:$LogFile")    Try{         Write-host 'Starting RoboCopy now' -fore Green         robocopy $SourcePath $DestinationPath $Options       }Catch{           $errorcode = $($PSItem.ToString())           Write-Warning 'Error has occoured'           Write-host "Problem FOUND: $errorcode" -f red -b White       }   }

#(6)_.Run function check source    Function-Check-Source -SourcePath $dataSour1e #(7)_.Run Function-create-ReportFolder     Function-create-ReportFolder -ReportPath $Destin #(8)_.Function-RoboCopy    Function-RoboCopy -SourcePath $dataSouce -DestinationPath $dataDestin -LogPath $LogFile
