Help needed with to script Robocopy
Hi,
I have two USB disk attached to a server. I have copied all the data from disk E: to disk F: I want now to setup Robocopy in order to run diferential copies from E: to F:
The goal would be to use a batch or vbs to run robocopy and the right switches in order to copy all the changes. Once I have the script I will run a scheduled task.
I have found the following script but it does not work. am getting following output on my console which is repeating continously:
Maximum setlocal recursion level reached.
Could someone help me out.
Thank you.

Have you named the script robocopy.bat, robocopy.cmd, or something else which matches the name of an existing command? If so, rename it.
