Windows 10: Robocopy Skips Copying File

I have a Dell computer running Windows 10. I use Task Scheduler to copy two files to two target destinations using Robocopy. Three of the files get copied but Robocopy skips one of them. If I run the command in a command window it returns a value of 0 meaning that there were no errors but no file

:)

 

Robocopy vs Copy-paste  

Robocopy "D:\Folder" "H:\Folder" /L /Mir The above command lists thousands of files, including the ones not to be copied. Is there a command which lists only the ones to be copied, excluding the ones to be skipped? There is no need to view the skipped ones.

 

Robocopy - copy changed files only

Hi Andy,

Try "Robocopy /MIR" which mirrors a directory tree. It automatically skips files that are identical. Note that it also removes the extra files from the destination folder.

Or, try one of the specialized free file sync tools listed in this article.

 

Robocopy vs Copy-paste  

I'm unsure how to suppress that output via a command line switch without writing a script and piping the skipped ones to a null bucket. Robocopy skips copying existing files if the specific metadata of the files should match. Then those files will be skipped from the entire file copy operation but not from the view. *Think
