Robocopy and Hidden folders

[dkobus]

Good Day,



I'm currently trying to perform a data migration using robocopy and I have found an issue that I have been unable to find any information on.



When trying to copy data I have a large folder that is Hidden and I get an error stating the following;



Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]

The parameter is incorrect.

I have tried several times to get this to work and havent had any luck. I can perfrom the copy buy specifing the folder - I have checked forums, web searched etc... with no luck. I would like to get this to run without having to specify each folder that fails, this s a onetime process and I dont want to create a script just for this operation.



Any help would be great!!!



Thanks.

Recommend using either the microsoft file server migration toolkit or a gui based utility such as beyondcompare
