Solved Robocopy

[BLAU0179]

I have created a robocopy.bat as below :

robocopy C:\Users\Faust_000\Documents\Alfredo "F:\Backups Documents" /e /mir /z /np /tee /log:Alfredo_log.txt

and I have created a Planned Activity into the Planning Utility to run at certain time every day.

Now my question is :
1. if manually activeted by double click robocopy.bat it perfectly works and the log.tx file is created
2. if I execute the robocopy by the Planned Activity (by manually Excute or automatically at the planned time) the robocopy is done correctly but the log.txt file is not created or updated.

I did both on W7 Professional 64bit and on W8.1 64bit but no difference.
Could someone help me to understand why the difference of results manually and via Planned Activity ?
Thank in advance.

I don't use Robocopy or Planned Activity but it might perhaps be related to the current directory when the bat file is executed. If so, the other log file should be somewhere on your system and you could search for it.

I mean when you manually run the bat file you get a certain "current directory", but in the other scenario you get another directory. You can try to include a path for the log parameter or move to a certain directory with the cd command in the bat file, before the robocopy command.

Tookeri, thank a lot. I searched in all C:\ but the only place where there is the log.txt is the folder where is also stored the robocopy.bat. and created by manual execution. Probably by Plannned Activity is not create/updated the log.txt .
But as per your suggestion I have amended the robocopy.bat including the target directory of the log.txt as below, and it perfectly works both by manual and by using the Planned Activity into Planning Utilities.

robocopy C:\Users\Faust_000\Documents\Alfredo "F:\Backups Documents" /e /mir /z /np /tee /log:"C:\Users\Faust_000\Documents\Spegni PC"\Alfredo_log.txt

It works. Thank
