Trying to copy Data with Robocopy

Hello Experts,

I am trying to copy data from one File server to the other. I am using RoboCopy in order to copy the data as I wanted the NTFS permissions to come with the data but it keeps on skipping the majority of files. I am using the following syntax:


net use \\localhost\ipc$ /user:domain\Administrator Password
robocopy "C:\Data_old" "\\Server2\C$\Data_old" /COPYALL /V /ETA /TEE /LOG:"C:\DATA_OLD_COPY_LOG.txt" /R:10 /W:30
net use \\localhost\ipc$ /del


On the log it is just telling me the skipped files but not why.

i would suggest that you use SyncToy which is a utility from Microsoft and is easier than Robocopy imho.
