And how do you get the list of files it skipped?

Well, tbh, haven't looked at the logging of it since I'd just use Beyond Compare to do a directory comparison.

The verbose switch does show skipped files plus you can output to a log file, (console, log file, or both).

Code: Text [Select]

1. :
2. :: Logging Options :
3. ::
4.                  /L :: List only - don't copy, timestamp or delete any files.
5.                  /X :: report all eXtra files, not just those selected.
6.                  /V :: produce Verbose output, showing skipped files.
7.                 /TS :: include source file Time Stamps in the output.
8.                 /FP :: include Full Pathname of files in the output.
9.              /BYTES :: Print sizes as bytes.
10.  
11.                 /NS :: No Size - don't log file sizes.
12.                 /NC :: No Class - don't log file classes.
13.                /NFL :: No File List - don't log file names.
14.                /NDL :: No Directory List - don't log directory names.
15.  
16.                 /NP :: No Progress - don't display percentage copied.
17.                /ETA :: show Estimated Time of Arrival of copied files.
18.  
19.           /LOG:file :: output status to LOG file (overwrite existing log).
20.          /LOG+:file :: output status to LOG file (append to existing log).
21.  
22.        /UNILOG:file :: output status to LOG file as UNICODE (overwrite existing log).
23.       /UNILOG+:file :: output status to LOG file as UNICODE (append to existing log).
24.  
25.                /TEE :: output to console window, as well as the log file.
26.  
27.                /NJH :: No Job Header.
28.                /NJS :: No Job Summary.
29.  
30.            /UNICODE :: output status as UNICODE.

Main reason I guess for using robocopy is that it can copy pretty much everything to do with a file, NTFS ACLS, Owner, auditing, and probably the ADS.

Could also multi-thread it, (/MT:x), but probably not the thing to do on a suspect HDD.

Hello there,

Im new here. First I would thank you for this nice site and the tools and advise you provide to the others.

I also wanted to suggest a freeware tool dubbed Robomirror, which basically is a GUI for the robocopy tool.

Cheers.
