    Robocopy /Network problem copying files : need help please


    Hi all
    I have just found Robocopy and it seems the perfect tool for what I am trying to do.... *really
    I make an incremental Backup on one of my PC's (Called Server-PC) every day using AOMEI backupper and I want to mirror that folder on my main PC I have been fiddling with Robocopy for hours now have Googled everything I can think of and can't find out what I am doing wrong.

    First of all I Mapped my E:\ drive on My Main PC onto my Server-PC and called it Z:
    Using this script --- robocopy "D:\AOMEI" "Z\ServerDriveCopy" /R:5 /s /purge /COPYALL as a test I Get
    Source : D:AOMEI\
    Destination : C:\Users\mike\Desktop\Z\ServerDriveCopy\

    It starts and then says "There is not enough space on the disk" There is still 700gb empty on the disk! I have checked if Quota's have been enabled and they haven't so can't work this out!

    I just found out there is a GUI for Robocopy so I tried that and made a slightly different script:
    robocopy "D:\AOMEI" "Z:\ServerDriveCopy" /MIR /S /V /NP /Z /R:10 /W:30 (The only difference is the colon after Z !
    and that goes MAD keeps repeating in the cmd window forever but no error message and no files get copied.

    So I tried it without using the mapped drive which gives me :
    robocopy "D:\AOMEI" "\\Main\e\ServerDriveCopy"
    and that says "Access Denied" !
    I can drag and drop files in explorer OK so I am stumped.

    If any one can help I would be very grateful
    *cake

    Mike

    I want to copy a local folder to network drive every night with the time stamp as the folder's name which is copied over. I don't want to overwrite the previous copied folder.

    Boiling it down: How do I create and run a robocopy script that copies files from a network share to the public desktop that runs locally on the machine (Windows 10) receiving the files?
