    Hi Golden,

    Thanks for your feedback again.

    I would have thought it more logical if it was the My Documents / Documents issue that all copied files would result in errors, but the vast majority of the files backup fine.

    It looks like this will remain unresolved and I'll have to write an alternative backup script method.

    Thanks again for your patience. :)

    Yeah yeah I know its a while since last post but I have same problem with robocopy on windows 7

    I fixed it using Xcopy:

    xcopy /s/e/i/d/r/k/y/z *.* <dest>

    Using robocopy evenwith /zb and /copy: DT failed, but the above xcopy picks up on those files that robocopy fails and copies those over...

    Using xcopy for backups

    I keep having the same problem. The keeps saying "Access is denied. with all the files" I'm doing this from home to my external hard drive. Here is the command I'm using.


    robocopy "c:" "G:\Win7_RobocopyBackup\c" /e /copyall /xo /log:"robolog
    .txt" /z /r:3 /w:6
