are both drives accessible from windows explorer? can you copy a file from/to both?
ASKER
yes both are accessible.
The cmd prompt is already opened, as the local administrator.

Yes, that works.
how to show the progress on the display and log the error files only ?
and if I run the same script, does it skip the files already copied over to the destination drive ?

Thanks OBDA,
So I assume, if I run the script below for the second time, it will just skip the file which has been copied, but then copy whatever new on the source to the destination drive ?
As at the moment, the script only copies between two removable HDD using USB connectivity on the server.

Yes; robocopy will by default skip files that already exist in the target folder, and where the size and modification date are the same.
Note that if you you want the target folder to be identical to the source, you need /mir instead of /e; this will delete files in the target(!) that don't exist anymore in the source.

Hi Obda,
In that case, I will leave it with /E because I don't want to delete the files on the destination drive.
