Windows 10: Robocopy hangs, dependant on working directory

I'm running robocopy to mirror two folders and have come across a strange situation. I am using the /log switch and when the copy started, no log file was being produced. Further investigation showed that the working directory where the log file was being written didn't have write permissions so I sorted that and re-ran the command. Still no log file. I tried the same command but without the /log switch and again the command hung with no output to the screen.I then changed to C:\Temp, re-ran the command and everything progressed without issue.Is there a permission requirement on the working

:)

 

Backup and compare with robocopy not working

You forgot to add the /NDL switch I noted previously. Without it, robocopy will list every blasted directory whether there are any differences or not. Add the /NDL and only file differences will be shown. Note that the full path for each file will still be shown. Also, missing and extra directories will still be shown. The /NDL will merely suppress the listing of every directory that is not relevant to actual differences.

 

Windows 10 robocopy ERROR 1392 (0x00000570) file or directory is corrupted

I keep all my personal and business data on a 2TB Passport external drive and back up key parts of it daily to two other external drives using robocopy. I've been doing this for years.

Since I upgraded to Windows 10, however, I keep getting the error I mentioned above (in the subject line). Robocopy complains that some file or directory on the **destination** drive is unreadable, and sure enough, I am unable to delete the file. I've tried
both File Assassin and File Unlocker. File Assassin complains that it cannot see the file. File Unlocker claims to delete it, but I still see it in Windows Explorer, even after rebooting. The only way to get rid of the file is to boot in safe mode and delete
it.

Problem is: this keeps reoccurring in different places in the filesystem !!!

Relevant facts:

* It occurs on *both* of my backup drives, which suggests to my mind that the problem is not with the backup device.

* Again, it occurs with different files in different places. There's no detectable pattern as far as location.

* CHKDSK reports no problems on any of my disks

* SFC reports no problems on any of my filesystems

For now, I've settled on the following work-around: I tell robocopy to ignore read errors:

For EX: robocopy g:\data q:\data /mir /R:0 /W:0

So now robocopy runs to completion instead of hanging, but it reports FAILURES.

I am worried about my data and would appreciate guidance and suggestions.
