Robocopy script

[SMOKEU]

I'm getting an access denied error on the destination drive. Here is my script: robocopy f:\ h:\ /mir /mt /xd f:\"system volume information" h:\$recycle.bin

Excluding that directory hasn't seemed to help.

Haven't used robocopy, but used similar stuff.

Are you sure you have the sysvol syntax right? Often those programs understand 8.3 format.

Assuming you're writing a backup script or similar, the destination is a trivial directory compared to the original. Most problems on that are about access and permissions to destination, rather than the program itself...

robocopy <Source> <Destination> [<File>[ ...]] [<Options>]

I've tried all sorts of combinations, including only the directories that I want to copy, yet the problem persists.

Fuck Mint, I've had far too many problems with it. It seems to work for a few days or a few weeks then it won't boot. I don't have that issue with other Debian based distros such as Lubuntu.

why have you got:

f:"system - quotes should be closed, no? (or is not supposed to be there)

(also.. rsync..)

I finally got this fucker to work properly with no errors:

robocopy f:\ h:\ /mir /mt /xd "f:\system volume information" "f:\$recycle.bin" "h:\$recycle.bin"

Thanks everyone.

i see where you're going wrong. it starts with C:\Windows....

>sudo -i
>dd if=/dev/(F: ) of= /dev/(h: )

Told ya to check the sysvol syntax.

Rsync... or I've grown even more lazy and Beyond Compare does a good job...

The one you really want is: sudo rm -R / --no-preserve-root

That command adds heaps of lulz to your day.

PS. I'll try your ideas AFTER making a VMWare snapshot just in case you're trying to score some lulz at my expense.

Why the fuck are you sending stuff to the recycle bin for? Either you want to delete that shit or you don't!

Fuck knows, I can't see that folder even when I enabled the "show hidden folders" option. It's all sorted now though so next time I'll know how to do it properly.
