Windows 10: Help with robocopy

I'm currently confused on how it works but i planned on moving or copying my files which is a windows image and file history to a different drive so it seems that people recommended using robocopy for copying large files so i gave it a try so i tried this command i still have no idea how to do it but i choose/copyall /e to copy everything /zb so it wont have trouble on permissions from the backups so did i do it right? Robocopy E:\ D:\Last os *.* /copyall /e /zbI'm kinda new to this so i kept on researching but its kinda hard cause there are only few guides on using this and i can't understand

Need Robocopy Help

Hi all,

Need some help with Robocopy. I've looked online but I don't know how to phrase my searches to get what I need.

Here's the scenario: I do a lot of development and I need to stage backups in a particular way, and Robocopy has already helped a lot. Would be great to step it up, but I can't figure out how to get what I need.

I have all my files in one location:

E:\Work Stuff\

And each project is in its own subfolder:

E:\Work Stuff\Project1\

E:\Work Stuff\Project2\

And so on. Then under each one, there are specific subfolders based on the specific needs, but there are two in particular that I know I'm going to be dealing with, "Draft Materials" and "The Imagination."

So what I'm trying to do is this:

Robocopy look through E:\Work Stuff and subfolders, and when it finds either "Draft Materials" or "The Imagination," it moves those folders (and only those folders) to my backup drive, while preserving the folder structure from E. So for instance:

We start with "E:\Work Stuff\Project2\Draft Materials", and I want Robocopy to look through folders until it finds Draft Materials; then I want it to go to my V drive and create "V:\Work Stuff\Project2" if it doesn't already exist, and move the Draft Materials
folder there without messing with anything else in the Project2 folder on the E drive.

I also want it to do the same to any instances of "The Imagination" that it finds.

Anybody know how to pull something like this off? Many thanks!
