Windows 10: another robocopy inquiry >.<

anyone tell me why this isnt working?

robocopy "C:\Users\klepp\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server" "U:\Backups\Plex Media Server\AppData\Local" /e /xo /purge /xd "System Volume Information" "$RECYCLE.BIN" "Recovery"

trying to take my plex media server folder that has all my metadata etc and back it up to my backups folder which I have structured as backups/plex media server/appdata/local(want /Plex Media Server to come next) This way I know where it goes when/if i have to replace it which I imagine may be part of the issue with robocopy working (the folder structured the way I have it)?

:)

 

How do I change memory card on C6 without loosing the data?

In case of a card-change I would prefer using:

robocopy <drive_letter_of_old_card>:\ <drive_letter_of_new_card>:\ /MIR

or, if there's only one MicroSD-slot

robocopy <drive_letter_of_old_card>:\ <temporary_folder_path>\ /MIR

(interchange cards)

robocopy <temporary_folder_path>\ <drive_letter_of_new_card>:\ /MIR



For further information on using robocopy or the command line, refer to the internet (primarily the pages of Microsoft).

 

I do not seem able to do a "Folder Sync" in App purchase via Paypal

Thank you very much for that suggestion.

I am vaguely aware of coming across "robocopy" in the past,

but I had certainly forgotten about it

and had never considered using it to replace Briefcase.

However it looks as if this does the trick.

REM -- Robust file copy, robocopy replacing "Windows Briefcase".

REM -- This relies on the Archive attribute bit.

robocopy <NTFS source Directory> <FAT32 USB destination directory> /mir /dcopy:T /m /log:<Log file path .txt> /v

I ran this with real data twice.

The first time it copied everything.

The second time nothing.

So, provided the Archive bit is indeed set appropriately

that should be exactly what I want.

I just need to have one of these .cmd files for any directory

I want backed up. Or one .cmd with built in choices

depending on how much bother I want to go to.

Anyway, thank you again.

 

I think you need to add the complete path for the /XD switch like this:
/XD "c:\users\klepp\appdata\System Volume Information" and whatever the complete path is to the rest of the folders. I hope this makes sense to you...

 

If you use the guiit create it for you and you can then copy it o cmd line if you want Utility Spotlight: Robocopy GUI
