Guest Jordan Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Just did a massive copy from one drive to another with RoboCopy. 250 GB total. I copied and logged and at the end of the 40 MB log file I see that I had 3 files fail out of the 750,000+ files. Every file is listed in the log where it seems all of them show "new file". I tried to do a seach on the file for "Fail" but I only find fail if it is in the file name or the summary at the end. What are some things I can search for to find what file has failed. Normally I would just stick this in Excel and sort, but I can't put in 3/4 of a million rows into Excel.

You can easily sort a log file at the Command Prompt, using sort.exe To find out what warning message you get, you could force an error, then watch what happens. I did it just now by attempting to copy some locked Outlook files. Here is the result: ============== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROBOCOPY :: Robust File Copy for Windows :: Version XP010 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Started : Mon Jul 28 16:49:06 2008 Source = d:\outlook\, Dest = d:\ Files : c*.* Options : /COPY:DAT /R:1000000 /W:30 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2 d:\outlook\ 100% New File 1391 Current Archive.log 0.0% New File 9.4 m Current Archive.pst 2008/07/28 16:49:06 ERROR 33 (0x00000021) Copying File d:\outlook\Current Archiv e.pst The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file. ============== Open your log file with MS Word, then look for the word "cannot" (for example).
