Error "Changing File Attributes" with Robocopy
i use robocopy to perform data backups at night. for the most part, the backups are successful. however, there are a few instances of the following error in the log file:
Older 31891 filename.pdf
2008/04/19 17:03:12 ERROR 5 (0x00000005) Changing File Attributes \\server\path
Access is denied.
here is my robocopy command (run via windows scheduler from a batch file, under Admin privs):
robocopy \\sourceserver\folder \\destination\backup\ /MIR /r:1 /w:1 > \\server\log.txt
ideas on why i'm seeing this error?

i don't think so... it also lists out instances where the source is older or newer than the destination:
Newer 80988 Thur Mar 13, 2008.pdf 0% 75% 100%
Older 77989 Thursday, March 20, 2008.pdf 0% 78% 100%
versus an error:
2008/04/24 02:17:02 ERROR 5 (0x00000005) Changing File Attributes \\servername\path\Thursday
Access is denied.
the problem seems to progressively be getting better... when i first posted about the error, my log was filled with examples of the error. since then, the number of instances has decreased...
but i have no idea why!

Is it because the source file is older than the destination file?
