I want to make a backup copy of an entire drive to a folder in an external drive but robocopy doesn't "see" the specified destination folder.

The idea is to update all the files and add the new ones in the J drive every time I run this command. So the result will be a clone of the D drive at that moment.

What I'm doing wrong?

robocopy "D:\" "J:\2Tera" /copy:datso /mir /fft /r:0 /w:0 /secfix /mt:20 /xo /xf thumbs.db /log+:J:\TON-FS4.log /nc /ns /np /ndl /nfl /tee

Also, Do I need to add /b switch?

A couple of folder are windows backup folders in that drive.(D:)

  • Does robocopy "D:\" work? Notice the backslash.

  • @UnhandledExcepSean It seems like robocopy "sees" D:\" J:\2Tera"\ as source folder

  • Removing quotes worked for me. Lucky I don't have spaces in my paths.
