  1. Can Robocopy copy in batches of files?


    Evening, I'm just after a bit of help, I have a folder on my PC which has a load of files from my Nikon Camera - for my current example 1700 at around 42GB, I usually copy these to an external SDD but I'm guessing due to the SSD the speed tends to drop off so I start around 650mbs and then it drops to 66mbs for say 20 seconds then goes back up then down and so on. Someone mentioned I could speed things up with Robocopy which I've given a go and it took around 30 seconds off my copy time result, it does still slow down as before but its better. I wondered if its possible to automate it so t

    I have successfully created and used the following batch file in windows10

    robocopy C:\Users\Julie\Documents\Test C:\Users\Julie\Documents\accounts-backup

    However when I run the batch below to copy the contents of a folder in Dropbox I get

    ERROR 2 (0x00000002) Accessing Source Directory C:\Users\Julie\Dropbox\accounts\
    The system cannot find the file specified.

  4. Can Robocopy copy in batches of files?

    Win10 Robocopy not copying subdirectories

    I am trying to set up a small PC to keep files synchronized. The source is a computer in our office in Europe, the destination a NAS in the local office. I can copy files, so access to either computer is not an issue. I have set up a simple batch file with
    a robocopy line:

    Robocopy <source> <Dest> *.* /MIR /E

    When I run the batch file, robocopy does copy the files. But it only copies the files and creates folders on the source at the first level. Robocopy does not follow the directory tree, and does not copy the files and directories of the next anf further levels.

    This all happens (or does not happen) when I run the batch file from an unelevated command prompt (the idea is, of course to use the task scheduler once it works)

    When I run the same batch file from an elevated command prompt, I get an error message that the access to the source is denied.

    I should say that the source was mapped as a Network location via SSL, and then mapped to a drive letter. So the 2nd problem could be due to the credentials that I used for mapping the network resource via SSL are not transferred to the mapping of the drive
    letter when I do that through net use in the elevated command prompt. Is that possible?

    But when I do have access to the source drive (in the unlevated command prompt I can read the source drive contents with command line DIR without problems, there is also a mapped drive in the file explorer I can use), I have the problem that subfolders are
    not synchronized.

    What is going on there?
