SyncToy: Automatic Syncronization - Networked Drive

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I need to have my laptop automatically syncronize with a network drive
whenever it is connected to that drive. How do I do this either with SyncToy
or by another method?

I'd try www.centered.com (SecondCopy 2000) - this works very well, better
than the built-in Offline Files feature in XP Pro.

It depends what you want to synchronize. Give a few more details and you
will likely get a solution here.

Follow the below listed directions for configuring SyncToy to run via Windows
Task Scheduler, when creating the task, check the radio button under Perform
this task: When I log on.

Scheduling SyncToy
SyncToy does not support a user interface to schedule folder pairs to run at
designated ‎times. There is a method to schedule tasks using the Microsoft©
Windows© operating ‎system.‎
To schedule a task using the operating system:‎
‎1.‎ From the Start menu, select All Programs - Accessories - System Tools -
‎Scheduled Tasks. ‎
‎2.‎ Select Add scheduled task to start the Scheduled Task Wizard. You will
see a ‎list of possible programs to run. ‎
‎3.‎ SyncToy may appear as an option in the list. If SyncToy does not appear
in the ‎list, click Browse and go find it. ‎
‎4.‎ The wizard will next prompt you to enter how often you want to run the
‎scheduled SyncToy (for example, daily, weekly, et cetera). Select a
frequency. ‎
‎5.‎ The next page asks when to start the task. Select a start time. ‎
‎6.‎ The next page asks for the user name and password to run the program
under. ‎Enter your user name and password. ‎
‎7.‎ The final page contains an option to open the properties dialog when
the wizard ‎ends. Select this checkbox. ‎
‎8.‎ Modify the Run textbox to include the –R command line option. –R all by
itself ‎will run all folder pairs that are active for run all. If you want to
run just a single ‎folder pair, add –R“My Pair� to the end of the command
line. Note: there is a ‎space before the hyphen but not one after the R. If
the folder pair name contains a ‎space, surround it with quotation marks, as
the example above shows. ‎
For another example, assume that SyncToy is in the folder named C:\My Folder
and that ‎you want to run a folder pair named "My folder pair." Enter the
command line as follows, ‎including the quotation marks: "C:\My
Folder\SyncToy.exe" -R"My folder pair." Note ‎that there are two sets of
quotation marks in this case--one is around the path to the ‎SyncToy program
file and the other surrounds the folder pair name.‎
