Problem description: I am trying to rocobopy everything on my R: drive to folder on an external drive (E:\R). The R: drive is basically a scratch drive, but since it's much faster than my windows disk I also keep my pagefile there. I am trying the following command:code:I've tried a couple different time with some minor variation in flags, but always get the same outcome. Attempted fixes: Just tried some different flags. Stuff like /COPYALL, /MIR, etc. Always the same result. Recent changes: None -- Operating system: Windows 7 Pro, all updates and service packs applied System specs: n/a Location: United States I have Googled and read the FAQ: I've googled but can't find any info on this. There is a robocopy hotfix for Windows 7 that looks like it might be related to the issue (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2639043), but for some reason when I send microsoft my e-mail address to download the hotfix nothing arrives so I have yet to try it.

Decided to google a little harder, and discovered the problem. Apparently any folder you copy the System Volume Information folder into automatically becomes a system folder, which gets ReadOnly/Hidden by default. Solution is to explicitly exclude it when running the command, i.e. something like: Robocopy "M:" "N:\M" * /E /COPYALL /MIR /NDL /R:0 /TEE /XJD /FP /TS /NP /LOG+:"RoboLogFile.log" /XF Thumbs.db ~*.* *.swp *.dmp *.tmp pagefile.sys hiberfil.sys /XD MCAF*.TMP "_RESTORE" "MSOCache" "$RECYCLE.BIN" "Recycled" "RECYCLER" "System Volume Information" Running it now and will see what happens. It's a 22 hour copy so there won't be an update soon.
