Simple Windows robocopy batch. Need help.

[unknownsoldierX]

I've made a simple robocopy script, but it's not doing what I want. To keep it simple for now, I have only one job, and I am running it as a dry run.

set robocopy="C:\Windows\System32\robocopy.exe"
Set LogFile="D:\backup to downstairs.txt"
set options=/L /mir /dcopy:T /copy:DAT /xa:h /LOG+:%LogFile%
set exclude=D:\Programs\uTorrent "D:\unknownsoldierx\Audio Books" D:\unknownsoldierx\Desktop D:\unknownsoldierx\Favorites D:\unknownsoldierx\Links

%robocopy% D:\Android \\DOWNSTAIRS\Android %options% /XD %exclude%
[/CODE]

Here is the result. Why does it include switches I haven't specified, especially the /purge switch, which I definitely do not want?

Also, how can I perform /LOG and /v at the same time? I'd like to specify the file name for the log, but I also want verbose output so I can see which files were skipped.

Take a look at this site, it explains what each switch does, it should help identify what is adding the additional switches. I can't see why you can't add /v as well as /Log...

/MIR : MIRror a directory tree - equivalent to /PURGE plus all subfolders (/E)

That's why it's adding the /PURGE

That's what I get for doing this before my morning coffee. I copied this from another backup script I had. I actually do want /purge, not /mir. So that issue is solved

Also, forgot to mention that I've tried adding the /v switch, but it doesn't show in the log what dir/files were skipped.

set options=/L /s /e /purge /dcopy:T /copy:DAT /xa:h /LOG+:%LogFile% /v
[/CODE]

You can use RichCopy (GUI For Robocopy) to build up the command how you want it.

Looking at RIchCopy now. I don't see how to get a command line string from it.

Edit: Nevermind, it's on the Others tab. It's confusing. There's arguments that aren't listed in the Robocopy help.

/QA and /QP

And besides the source and destination, it wants to do something with "C:\Users\unknownsoldierx\AppData\Local\Temp\clEE55.tmp".
