Migrate Data with Robocopy

robocopy C:\ \\\ /MIR /COPYALL /Z /LOG:C:\Robocopy.txt /R:0 /W:0 /NP /XD RECYCLER "System Volume Information" ~snapshot

Some explanations:

  • /Z - Restartable Mode - If Robocopy is stopped, then restarted, partially copied files are picked up and incrementally copied.
  • /B - Backup Mode - In some cases it is advised to also add the /B (Backup Mode) option to copy files in backup mode. This option leverages the Windows NT "backup mode" feature, allowing files to be copied using the Backup Operator rights.
