Copy Changed Files

Just ran across this free utility: http://www.copychangedfiles.com/index.htm[^] Looks useful. Anyone try it?

The binary compare option sounds interesting. But how about the speed?:confused:
You can flame me whichever way you want and I wouldn't care a bit. But if you group me with some idiots, I'll turn into your worst nightmare.

I thought that this is what the archived attribute is for... can't you get the same effect with like a -M (or whatever) with xcopy? Why would you want to do full comparisons of files to see if they've changed when you can just look at the modified date or archived attributes?
Typical n-tiered architecture: DB <-> Junk(0) <-> ... <-> Junk(n-1) <-> Pretty

Um, perhaps because I want to do it automatically, maybe, don'tcha think? That's one of the main reasons for using a computer -- why have a dog and bark yourself?
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Well that's a given, I meant why would you do a full binary comparison when you can just check a flag instead?

Because maybe the files have some value, and you want to be absolutely positive that they're copied? I'm not half as paranoid as some of my friends, and there's no way I would trust a single flag bit.
