Softwares like DirLister, Snap2HTML
I have a external disk of size 2tb,, and laptop with 500gb SSD and free time at work..
- Copy Volume Shadow of External Disk, just directory structure and files, files metadata only/not actual content of file.
- Basically I want to copy just directory structure, folders, files properties/not the actual content of file; from external disk to my Laptop SSD
- Copy them to my SSD and then take to work and re-arrange file, folder, change directory structure and then flash the changes i made to my external disk when Im home.
- Important is to copy just directory structure, folders, files properties..
Its Ok if It cant flash changes made to the directory onto disk.. I can do that manually - It would be like virtual disk (virtual disk without actual files)..
Are there any 3rd party software that can do it..
Any software which copy list of file,folder,directory structure, and display them as if viewing in explorerdir /b /s >extractlist.txt this cmd gives text file output with directory structure, file size & date.. And its pain in eye to go through those words.. So I was thinking if there is any software which fakes as windows explorer/any file explorer and shows shadow of external disk.Just cloning directory and file name and its properties.
Everything software has Export File List (.efu) I want something similar..Export directory structure, and file properties, just timestamp and what size the file was.
Answer
Robocopy:
Robocopy can easily exclude all files from a copy job, so that it only replicates the folder structure in the destination.
robocopy /e "d:\2TB external drive" "c:\SSD drive" /dcopy:dat /xf * /r:1 /w:1
/eincludes all folders, including Empty folders./dcopy:datincludes Directory timestamps/xf *Excludes all Files./r:1Retries failed copies 1 time./w:1Waits 1 second before retrying failed copies.
