    robocopy not running


    I have just moved from a PC to a desktop. I am using robocopy, via powershell, as a backup but the robocopy command starts and then drops. I have used the robocopy command for several years without a problem on the PC:robocopy C:\Users\Martin\Documents e:\Documents /MIRI have modified for the lap tap to:robocopy C:\Users\admin\OneDrive\Documents D:\Documents /MIRThe powershell screen appears but then closes without doing anything. Is it because I am using OneDrive?

    :)
