NODCOPY : COPY No directory info (by default /DCOPY:DA is done). NOCOPY : Copy NO file info (useful with /PURGE).

COPYALL : Copy ALL file info (equivalent to /COPY:DATSOU). (DCflags : D=Data, A=Attributes, T=Timestamps, DCOPY: DCflag : What to COPY for Directories (default is /DCOPY:DA) S=Security=NTFS ACLs, O=Owner info, U=aUditing info)įile Data ( D) always includes file Timestamps ( T).

(copyflags : D=Data, A=Attributes, T=Timestamps, COPY: copyflag : What to COPY (default is /COPY:DAT) MINAGE: n : MINimum file AGE - exclude files newer than n days/date. MAXAGE: n : MAXimum file AGE - exclude files older than n days/date. LEV: n : Only copy the top n LEVels of the source tree. M : like /A, but remove Archive attribute from source files. A : Copy only files with the Archive attribute set. E : Copy Subfolders, including Empty Subfolders. ROBOCOPY Source_folder Destination_folder įile(s)_to_copy : A list of files or a wildcard. Couldn’t find this solution provided to anyone else experiencing this problem so it seemed worth sharing.By default Robocopy will only copy a file if the source and destination have different time stamps or different file sizes. I just tried that command and it stopped barking at me. Add /V to the command line if you want to see which files are having their security “fixed” without having their data copied. MIR will replicate data and security (as /SEC is specified) for changed files, and /SECFIX will update just the security for unchanged files. So, to maintain two trees in sync, including their security, using Vista’s Robocopy, you can use the following as your regular Robocopy command: Things have moved on a bit in the past 11 years, security-wise, so I changed the way things work in this area slightly for the version of Robocopy that ended up in Vista, in that if you specify /SECFIX on the command line, Robocopy will copy security for skipped files that exist in both the source and the target trees.

SECFIX appears to be intended for use in conjunction with /SEC, as described by Robocopy’s original developer, Kevin Allen. Receiving this error when you try to use /SECFIX wit Robocopy as instructed by Microsoft in this document? Their syntax is incomplete.
