I've used robocopy to copy a large volume of media files from my main PC to my laptop, but now want it to only copy new or changed files to the new directory. I'm copying from a the desktop's hd which is network mapped on the laptop. What command line do I need to use. Currently i'm using

robocopy "S:\MP3's" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music" /e /r:0 /w:0

what do I need to add to only copy changed files?

There's an example located here: http://www.ss64.com/nt/robocopy.html that shows the syntax for what you're wanting (it's also got all the other switches for the utility).

Basically, it sounds like you want the mirror switch: /MIR
