Does Robocopy /MIR copy all files or just the ones that are added and those that are changed? I don't want to start this if it is going to take hours and hours. thanks...

thanks pparks1. I have just started "Robocopy F: \\INSPIRONBACKUP\F_Insp1900 /E /log:F:\Robocopy.log" after some testing and it seems to work. Is this ok?

Just ran into a problem: It tried to copy the Recycle bin and hung, is there a way to bypass an error like this?

title A better way
color 0a
echo.
echo 1.Backup to spare PC.
echo 2.Back up to spare HDD "N:".
echo 3.Exit
echo.

set /p a=
IF %a%==1 Robocopy F: \\INSPIRONBACKUP\F_Insp1900 /E /XA:SH /R:2 /W:1 /TEE /LOG:F:\Robocopy.log
IF %a%==2 Robocopy F: N: /E /XA:SH /R:2 /W:1 /TEE /log:F:\Robocopy.log
IF %a%==3 Echo Did nothing - Exited...
Pause

Echo off
