Robocopy with D switch defaults to DT (date and time)
Robocopy with the /copy:D should only copy data. The default is :dat which is data, attributes, timestamps. However I am copying to a backup nas device that won't let you set attributes or timestamps.
So, if I explicitly set /copy:d why does it invariably run with /copy:dt instead?
Any ideas? Any other good command line apps capable of mirroring directories and logging the results like robocopy does (single file no installer)?
Thanks.
