i would put some retry option in just encase there was an issue accessing the destination drive during the copy:
e.g. Code:
/Z /R:10 /W:20 FYI, if you don't specify any retry options, then ROBOCOPY automatically uses these values: R:1000000 and W:30 Regards, Golden |

Is the retry option set to a million by default then? ![]() |

Me too! I never realised you could do so much with Robocopy. I just thought it was a command line for copy and paste.
Been looking at the commands and it's got so many options. It's something I am going to start using a lot more. |

I just noticed the /Z command, and have a suggestion. /Z = copy in restartable mode. This is a good option for copying across networks to mitigate the risk in losing connectivity, but it comes at a price : a much slower copying speed. It your D: and T: are NOT network drives (e.g. they are internal or USB connected drives), leave out the /Z switch to achive a faster copy time. Regards, Golden |

Thanks again Golden!
My D drive is internal and my T is an external seagate drive so I'll try it without the /Z switch. Can't get enough of this site! ![]() |
