robocopy files created yesterday

[Naruto]

Hi, I want to robocopy files created yesterday (based on the "Date Modified"
timestamp)

It seems to me that the options
/MAXLAD
/MINLAD
/MAXAGE
/MINAGE
are calculating based on 24 hrs timeframe.
For example, if I use /MAXAGE:1 and robocopy at 3pm, I will get the logs
from 3pm yesterday up to current time but not the logs at 2:59 pm yesterday.

Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Of course I could schedule a job to run at every 12:00AM as a workaround.
But this is not I want to achieve as some source servers may be busy at that
time

Instead of specifying /MaxAge:n, specify /MaxAge:YYYYMMDD.

Robocopy with minage options for current date

hi...
u can try the below code to get the current date in yyyymmdd format and use it with robocopy along with minage:

string current_date=DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd");


proc.StartInfo.FileName="C:\\robocopy.exe";
proc.StartInfo.Arguments=""+ tempsrc + " "+ tempdst+" "+"/minage:"+@current_date+"";
//+" "+"/mov";
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute=false;
proc.Start();
proc.Close();
