Robocopy Issue

[sbruce66]

I am trying to copy data from a Windows 2003 Standard Server to a StoreVault S550 using Robocopy. I want run the /COPYALL command. Robocopy will run but it will skip the files in the folder and will instantly complete.

The syntax seems to be correct on the command. i'm following the ROBOCOPY /Source /Destination /Options as directed by robocopy's syntax. Any ideas?

Turn the logs on and see what they say.

There are no more PDC's! There are DC's with FSMO roles!

Post your exact command line as well.

Here is the exact command I typed

robocopy.exe C:/Test123 //storage/MPSDATA/Staff /COPYALL

 

[58sniper]

Your slashes are backwards

It should be
robocopy.exe C:\Test123 \\storage\MPSDATA\Staff /COPYALL

Sorry I typed them wrong here. I checked and I typed them correctly in the command

Try to copy just one file over, see if that works.

If you don't use the copyall command, does it work? Are you sure you have rights? What do the logs say?
