Robo Copy Switch

[IKWeb]

Hello All

 

I need to use Robocopy to copy files from one server to another. I know it’s going to throw some access denied errors on some of the files but I want to log these to a txt file for later inspection.

 

I have looked at the robocopy /? and can’t work out which switches to use (have a bad Monday morning lol)

 

Would anyone be able to help?

 

Thanks

Depends what you want to do.

 

/LOG: writes a log file to disk.

 

Usual options are "/copy:DATS" to copy all files with Data, Attirbutes, Timestamps, Security settings. add O for Ownership to be copied aswell.

 

This MS Technet guide is quite handy. Robocopy

I often cheat and run: "robocopy /? > Robocopy.txt" that way all of the commands are in a text file which can be read more easily than the cmd box....

 

Otherwise there is a GUI tool for robocopy which can be found here
