robocopy

Assuming that the paths are correct on E; and F:, the problem is probably that there are spaces in the E; folder name, so you need quotes around it. In other words:

robocopy.exe "E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.LIPSA\MSSQL\Backup\"  f:\Bases\  /e /r:0 /w:0

Select allOpen in new window

Oh you guys
tsm!!

The syntax of robocopy is:
ROBOCOPY source destination [file [file]...] [options]

So if it says no destination, that likely means there's no F: drive, because even if \Bases\ doesn't exist, it would create the folder on the F: drive — if there is one!

Please post a screenshot of the command prompt where you are issuing the robocopy.

> Robocopy doesn't like a backslash at the end of a quoted path

Bill,
Robocopy is perfectly fine with a backslash at the end:


The quotes were the problem, not the backslashes! Regards, Joe

Update: Oops! Turns out that backslashes are ok at the end of non-quoted paths but are not ok at the end of quoted paths. Talk about weird! My apologies, Bill, you are correct. That said, my comment about the quotes was at least half of the problem — and half of the solution. :)

So note that this also works:

robocopy.exe "E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.LIPSA\MSSQL\Backup"  f:\Bases\  /e /r:0 /w:0

Select allOpen in new window

That is, a backslash at the end of f:\Bases\ — but no quotes! Cheers, Joe
