run robocopy bat to copy entire drive to another drive
with "D:"
you are not specifying the root directory of the D drive (D:\
) but the current directory of D instead, (D:\temp
in your example).
To solve this problem, just add \
to the source spec (and while there, to the dest spec as well)
robocopy d:\ k:\ /L /v
/L options make a dry run, nothing actually copied.
From MS website: /l Specifies that files are to be listed only (and not copied, deleted, or time stamped).
here is sample of my test dry run before copying and entire disk:
Total Copied Skipped Mismatch FAILED Extras Dirs : 63346 63346 2 0 0 0 Files : 719564 719564 0 0 0 0 Bytes : 4.039 t 4.039 t 0 0 0 0 Times : 0:27:58 0:00:00 0:00:00 0:27:57 Ended : Monday, September 6, 2021 9:25:35 AM
and here is my Notepad for making my command, (notice I simply remove the /L to actually copy):
for testing (dry run): robocopy Q: G: /L /E /COPYALL /R:20 /W:15 /MT /NP /A-:SH /Z /V /TEE /LOG+:VMRobCp.log
Real run: robocopy Q: G: /E /COPYALL /R:20 /W:15 /MT /NP /A-:SH /Z /V /TEE /LOG+:VMRobCp.log
Use the /E
Option.
Also check other necessary/useful params like /copyall
/ZB
or /DCOPY:DAT
via /?
