I would like to know what exactly is needed to make a robocopy script run with 2008 windows task scheduler.
What permissions should I give the account that task scheduler uses?
I added the account that runs the job to the backup operators group on the source server and the destination server.
The task originally returned an error code 0x1. I checked the box run with highest priviledges and it ran after that.
I verified that changed data is copying to the destination but the log is not updated.
Here is my robocopy script
robocopy "\\serverip\fs1" "\\serverip\fs1\directory"
What I want it to do is copy the changed files and directories with the permissions to the destination, exclude the mentioned directories and run with windows task scheduler.

/SEC parameter is not necessary as it's included in /COPYALL
As you want to copy the changed files, use /MAXAGE:x to only copy files newer than x days.
/MIR includes /PURGE which will clean out files/dirs in destination not existing in source
/NDL and /NFL is the reason for not getting anything in the log.
If task user has been granted backup right, you can use /B or /ZB to use backup mode.
robocopy "\\serverip\fs1" "\\serverip\fs1\directory"
