Windows 10: Is there a way for Robocopy to ignore file copy errors?

I am trying to backup files from a disk that is probably going bad. I've already run "chkdsk" on it, so now my old CRC errors are now "file unreadable" errors.


I can't find any combination of the /R and /W switches that would permit errors to be ignored. It would make sense for /W:0 to mean this - why would you specify a zero second wait time? But, right now /W:0 is just another way to say "Make my log file infinite size"


Is there any other robocopy option that can do this?

Robocopy Ignores /SL in Windows 10

Robocopy is ignoring the /SL feature. (/SL :: copy symbolic links versus the target.). This causes it to copy the videos Music and Pictures folders twice because there are system shortcuts to these folders in the Documents folder for compatibility.

Command is as follows (replace ***** with user name):

Code:

robocopy "C:\Users\*****\Documents" "E:\*****\Documents" /sl /mir

robocopy "C:\Users\*****\Videos" "E:\*****\Videos" /sl /mir

robocopy "C:\Users\*****\Music" "E:\*****\Music" /sl /mir

robocopy "C:\Users\*****\Pictures" "E:\*****\Pictures" /sl /mir

Please fix this Microsoft.

 

Windows 10 Pro - Robocopy Access Denied Error - But Files still Copy

Hello User. Seems like it is simply a bug with the script maybe. From the solutions I found, you have to take ownership of the files you are copying over or the file you are copying into and the error screen will not show up. And also giving administrator
permissions.

Some other solutions I found: The "Access is denied" message can be issued by robocopy (and other command line tools) when a file has an NTFS stream that tags the file as having been downloaded from the Internet or copied from a share.

And Chicojrman1 on technet suggested: Just run the same robocopy command a second time to effectively do an incremental, it will scan through and only copy files that have been updated or are new.
