| | Vista and Robocopy Vista has included Robocopy in the operating system but when I run it and it comes across a file it can't access it errors out. Does anyone know of a switch in it to just skip the file and continue copying just like XXCOPY will do?? I can't find any. Tony |

Robocopy is extremely persistent at trying to copy files (that's its main raison d'etre); so by default, it will retry a file one million times, at 30 second intervals. You can use the /R:n parameter, to set the number of retires. For example, "/R;5" to retry copying a file 5 times and then give up, and move on to the next file. That may give you the effect you want? -- Andrew McLaren amclar (at) optusnet dot com dot au |
