Solved Using Task Scheduler fails to run RoboCopy.

[Golden]

Good stuff Alan.

The /mt switch allows you to allocate more threads to the copying process thereby speeding up the copying process (up to a point) - /mt:4 is good enough. It should be added to every robocopy line in your script.

Yes, you can now add more lines to your script. Your example would look like this:

robocopy I:\DATA M:\Backup_DATA /e /np /mt:4 /log:backup_log.txt
robocopy D:\Gardening M:\Backup_DATA /e /np /mt:4 /log[COLOR="Red"][B]+[/B][/COLOR]:backup_log.txt

Note the use of the + in the 2nd line - it will add to the existing log. Also, what is in C:\system32 that you want to backup? Are those files that you created?

Hi Golden.

I do not have either a System32 or Gardening files to copy, they are both fictitious but thought they were more real than saying C:\x , I didn't mean to confuse.

I will leave you in peace, (for a little while anyway) and go away and 'play' Robocopy.

Many thanks for your patience and help.

Best regards
Alan.

P.S. As the title of of the thread is 'Using Task Scheduler fails to run RoboCopy' and it still does not run Robocopy, I suppose I shouldn't mark this as Solved!!

Its OK, mark as solved anyway
