I created a robocopy script and wanted to exclude 2 folders from copying. The first is [highlight #FCE94F]AppData[/highlight] and the second is [highlight #FCE94F]OneDrive[/highlight]. I have tried to repeat the XD switch but that did not work (/XD AppData /XD OneDrive). I then tried the text below and that did not work. Does anyone know if it is possible to exclude two folders in one command? If yes, what is the correct context?
Thank you,
Dom

Robocopy "C:\Users\Dominic" "S:\TheBackup" /MIR /XA:SH /[highlight #FCE94F]XD AppData/OneDrive[/highlight] /XJD /R:5 /W:15 /MT:32 /V /NP /LOG:Backup.log
 
This is what it should look like:
robocopy.exe C:\Users\pinhead\ \\hp-probook\desktopdata /MIR /FFT /TEE /XA:SH /XJ /xJD /XJF /XD "c:\users\pinhead\documents\eudoraback" "c:\users\pinhead\documents\eudoraweek" "C:\Users\pinhead\Documents\Email" C:\Users\pinhead\AppData\ /ZB /R:1 /W:1 /LOG:"C:\laptopbackup.log"

XD only appears once. Folders are separated. The quotes are not really necessary. As you can see, I forget the quotes for one folder but it still excludes APPDATA. Name has been changed from actual customer.
 
Thank you. I see what you are saying.
