Guest Steve Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Hello all, I am copying data from an old volume to a new volume with Robocopy. My first question is do I really need to copy the System Volume Information directory and the Recycler directory? I would think not. If not what is the proper syntax using the /XD switch to skip these two directories?

This needs to be tested, of course.
