I have a RoboCopy problem: not all files get copied, but why?
Hi all,
I have a RoboCopy problem: not all files get copied, but why?
this is what I see when te program ends:
These are the settings that I apply:
As you can see I am missing 1,1GB and the compare tells me it is 96,7% the same.
Anyone any ideas?

Thank you all, learned a thing or two on RoboCopy, still: no idea why those files do not get copied, however: I decided that I do not need them anymore.
I also found out that 1GB was not copied since in one folder there we're several files with exactly the same file name (how is that possible) and after renaming them they did get copied, leaving 100MB of "lost" files.

yes, because during the first copy the destination drive had ran out of space. So I cleaned up space and ran the script again. I already tested if RoboCopy does not overwrite everything, which it does not. It skipps files already there, so in fact it makes a compare. You can see that in my screenshot, it tells me upfront: 96,7% the same, but why not copy the last 3,3%?
