Excluding Directories with Robocopy


Recommended Posts

Posted

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?

From the documentation I would have expected that the proper syntax is /xd

c:\Recycler. This needs to be tested, of course.
