Rsync alternative for Windows

[mar1naj]

For Windows, rsync is replaced with robocopy to mirror the temp directory into the permanent one. And used Windows commands to delete directories and files.

Not sure if the OS check is safe. Might need further testing. On Windows, it works well for me.

Hmmm, did you patch the documentation to cover installing robocopy?

No I did not. I think robocopy is available since Windows Server 2003 and Vista. And I don't see any mention for rsync either.

To depict rsync's abiltiy on windows I had to install cygwin. Didn't work out for me, nor did robocopy satisfied my needs. While searching for rsync on windows I found people suggesting me to use GS Richcopy 360. This software is quite good and works really good, its as effective as Rsync.
