This is a local RAID drive on a Mpeg capture system. We do archive the files on network storage but that is manual process done by staff at their convenience. I am trying to monitor the capture folder for new captures and then just copy the file to a QC workflow watch folder.I have a software called "Second Copy" doing this now but it sort of does the same thing my Perl script does. Except it copies the entire list of mpg files every time there is a file/s change. So I am just trying to get a simple script that will copy only newly captured files to a network folder.
