Getting "Invalid Parameter #10" when attempting to copy folder using robocopy

Question

I'm trying to copy a folder on my internal hard drive to my external hard drive using robocopy with the following command:

robocopy "source folder" "destination folder" *.* /E /DCOPY:T /COPYALL /LOG:"log folder/log.log" ATTRIB -S -H "destination folder"

After running the command, the process stops immediately and I get this error in my log file:

ERROR : Invalid Parameter #10 : "-H"

I want to remove the hidden and system attributes from all the folders and sub-folders I'm copying. I'm using version XP026 of robocopy.

Looking at this Robocopy syntax, Robocopy supplies parameters to do this itself (/A-:SH), so you should try those:

robocopy "source folder" "destination folder" *.* /E /DCOPY:T /COPYALL /LOG:"log folder/log.log" /A-:SH
