A little off topic, but I'm trying to use robocopy to copy a file located in mssql.1\mssql\data directory in 2008R2.
The problem is that robocopy uses dos convention, e.g., program files -> progra~1, etc. The problem, is that I can see 100, 90 and 80 directories, but I can't see mssql.1 when viewing from a dos window (cmd). I've checked all the security file attributes / permissions and there is nothing to indicate why it's hidden from view. I also tried allowing for protected system files to be viewed, but not dice. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
