QUESTION :
My source is a directory hierarchy. I need to auto-copy the files in the source to a destination directory, but to have each file individually zipped inside the destination sub-directories. Furthermore, files which weren’t changed since the last sync shouldn’t be zipped/synced redundantly.
How can I perform such zipped mirroring?
ANSWER :
7zip is very useful from a bat script.
You should be able to achieve directory mirroring with it. It supports creating a base archive, and then updating it with only files that have changed. http://hackerspa.com/differential-backups-in-windows-with-7zip/
As for ‘each file individually zipped’… – you would need an elaborate vbs or powershell script to achieve that…
