Versions:
RoboMirror 2.0, authored by Martin Kinkelin, serves as a graphical wrapper for Microsoft’s long-established Robocopy.exe command-line engine, translating its industrial-strength file replication engine into a point-and-click experience. Positioned within the Backup & Sync category, the application exposes every Robocopy switch—multi-threaded copying, restartable mode, mirror attributes, security ACLs, NTFS junction handling, and automatic retry logic—through an organized property sheet, letting administrators design complex synchronization jobs without memorizing dozens of flags. Typical use cases include nightly mirroring of departmental file servers to NAS units, one-way push of project folders to USB drives for off-site rotation, bi-directional sync between local SSD and cloud-cached volumes, and scheduled consolidation of workstation data onto a central repository prior to OS migration. A built-in task scheduler writes ordinary Windows Task Scheduler entries, so jobs run whether or not a user is logged on, and a post-operation report window color-codes skipped, replaced, or failed items for rapid auditing. Although only one major version has been published so far, the 2.0 codebase is fully Unicode-aware and runs on every client or server edition from Windows 7 upward, honoring long paths beyond the legacy 260-character limit when the OS permits. RoboMirror is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads supplied through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest build and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
