For example /b allows you to copy directories even if you're not the owner, as long as you run robocopy as an admin. (I have a bunch of user folders -- Desktop, Documents, etc. -- from previous Windows installations on my external drives, and it's impossible to access them without either using that flag, or painfully changing the owner and permissions first.) You might also want to exclude junction points and symbolic links, which will get traversed unless you explicitly say otherwise. | |

it looks like robocopy C:\src C:\dst /mir /copyall will do the trick (but requires admin rights to access/set the security attr with copyall) -edit- to note mir will delete files that dont exist on src like i wanted.
