Omit uploaded files with AzCopy

Question

I have uploaded with Cloudberry Explorer some files/folders to my Azure container but now I'm gonna change Cloudberry for AzCopy.

What I need is to omit those uploaded files. I don't know if can be done with a AzCopy parameter. the files to be uploaded are stored in a server so doing it manually is impossible due for are thousands of thousands of files/folders.

thanks in advance

Answer 1

As it is documented in azcopy reference

--overwrite string Overwrite the conflicting files and blobs at the destination if this flag is set to true. Possible values include 'true', 'false', 'ifSourceNewer', and 'prompt'. (default "true")

So something like this should work:

azcopy.exe copy "source location" "destination location" --overwrite=false

Answer 2

Use /XO flag in the command. It will not copy/replace old files. Sample command,

AzCopy /Source:C:\myfolder /Dest:https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer /DestKey:key /XO
