Robocopy hiding folders on backup drives
- by Neil Barnwell
I have a backup batch file that uses Robocopy to backup my files:
robocopy "C:\" "G:\Default\RoboCopyBackup\C" /XF Pagefile.sys /XD "System Volume Information" "Recycler" "Temporary Internet Files" "Installer Cache" "Temp" /E /R:1 /W:0 /TEE /XJ
This should create a folder structure on the external backup drive like so:
G:\Default\RoboCopyBackup\C\...
However, G: appears totally empty.
What is weird, is that the folders and files are there! If I type the above path into the address bar, I see all the files and folders!
Can anyone help me work out why? I think it might be some NTFS-based ownership/permissions thing but I'm not sure.
