net use X: \\hqcp-appsvr01\Files\ApplicationDocuments\AppDocs\49\PHOTO
net use Y: \\hqcp-appsvr02\Files\ApplicationDocuments\AppDocs\49\PHOTO

::Copy photoFiles from server1 to server2 Made Or Modified Today

@echo off

set source=X:\
set dest=Y:\

pushd "%source%"
set t=%date:~4%
echo %t%
for /f %%a in ('dir /b /a-d /o-d') do call :PROCESS "%%a"
popd
net use Y: /d /y
net use X: /d /y
goto :eof

:PROCESS
for /f %%j in ('echo %~t1') do set d=%%j
if "%d%"=="%t%" Xcopy /y %1 "%dest%"
goto :eof

Something like that might work. Look up NET USE for more information.

I'm curious why you aren't just using XCOPY - I would think that the /D command might do what you need. I would throw in a /M too.

xcopy \\hqcp-appsvr01\Files\ApplicationDocuments\AppDocs\49\PHOTO\*.* \\hqcp-appsvr02\Files\ApplicationDocuments\AppDocs\49\PHOTO\*.*  /y /d /m

There is no reason to use pushd. The following modification of the for loop may be enough.

for /f %%a in ('dir "%source%" /b /a-d /o-d') do call :PROCESS "%%a"
