I am in the proccess of setting up a NAS on our network to use as a read only
archive of older project files. I was looking for the best way to acomplish
this. I have looked at robocopy and it seems like it may do the job. Does it
maintain the directory structure and can it delete the source files after a
successfuly copy? Are there any other products out there I could look into.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Paul

The answer is "yes" to each question you asked about robocopy.exe.
Have a look at the help file to see what switches you need to use.
