I've scoured the internet and various boards like this one and find all kinds of great information about the flags and ways you can run robocopy, but no documentation on the log report. My question is, can anyone point me to a starting point where I can find information about the items contained in the default log. There are other things in the actual logs I can't quite figure out, but I think this Illustrates my point and question. But what is the number right after "New File"? The filesize? I see that if the New Dir has multiple New Files, the total number of new files that are in that directory is counted (99 in my example below) and then I will find 99 filenames below. I think I have deciphered that New Dir and New Name signify folder(s) and File(s) that do not appear in Drive Y and will be copied from Drive F. So I believe the *EXTRA Dir line is telling me drive Y contains the directory shown and it is not in Drive F and then obviously -1 is the count of the extra directory.īut I can't figure out what the numbers on the directories that follow is about. New Dir 42 f:\exampleDirectory\exampleFolder\blah\blah\ New File 21716 1033a filename example1.txt New File 19551 1033a filename example1.txt New File 17425 1033a filename example1.txt New File 21178 1033a filename example1.txt New File 1.4 m 1033a filename example1.txt New File 28672 1033a filename example1.txt New File 60416 1033a filename example1.txt New Dir 99 f:\01 - Open Client Files\1033 GHG\Planning\ *EXTRA Dir -1 y:\Open Client Files\sample\ This is for illustration of an example and not a true, complete log. I have included some sample output from the log file that I have modified to protect the persons information that appears in it. While most of the log can be figured out, there are some items listed that are not crystal clear. This gave me a log of what will happen when I run the command without the /L flag. I am providing it as illustration for my question): robocopy /xc /xn /xo "f:\" "y:\" *.* /COPY:DAT /E /L /LOG:d:\log\myLogDryRun.log I ran a dry run of robocopy like this (but this is not the issue or my question. I need all files copied from Drive F to Drive Y, but only if the folder and/or file on Drive F does not exist on Drive Y.
I have one drive that is the master (Drive F) and one that is a partial copy of Drive F (Drive Y). Specifically for the project I am working on right now I need to copy some files, but only if they are not already there. There is no header row in the default log.
#ROBOCOPY NEW FILES ONLY UPDATE#
One thing I have not been able to find is good documentation on the terms used in the default log file. Robocopy-check for any changed or new files/folders and update destination Posted by dm72 on Jul 18th, 2017 at 7:17 AM Windows Server Data Storage I have just robocopied 1.5TB from source to destination with the below command /E /MIR /W:0 /R:3 /COPY:DAT /DCOPY:T /log:c:\Temp\Copy2. I've been learning and using robocopy a lot for the last few weeks.
