working with cache offline

[Rodrigo]

I have local cache consisting of Win7 through Win8.1 including both x86 and x64.

I am looking for a way to reconstruct this local cache in a separate folder with only one of product and one achitecture. example one local cache containing ony win 8.1×64 updates.

here is my dilema I would like to prevent the re-downloading of these updates since i already have valid copies in the current local cache. Is there a way to export/copy only the updates ilisted in a new BP Url list?

In order to avoid having BatchPatch download the updates, for what you are describing I would suggest the following:

1. Create a BP URL list for the Win 7 updates.

2. Write a simple script that looks at each filename in the BP URL list and compares it to your directory of previously downloaded updates. Have your script then copy any matches it finds into a new directory.

---

A different option would be to go into your directory of previously downloaded updates and sort them by name. Then manually copy any desired files – perhaps the ones for Windows 7, into a new directory. Then set this new directory as your BatchPatch cache folder. Then download the entire repository of Windows 7 updates to that cache folder using the BatchPatch download updates repository option. This will skip downloading any files that already exist in the destination.
