I am trying to save multiple files at the end of a work session from C-drive to USB stick. I don't know what I am doing wrong to get the message "ERROR 123 (00000007B).

I have not seen examples of using robocopy to save from HD (C) to a USB stick or DVD.

Am I trying to do something for which robocopy has not been designed?

With thanks for any response, 

Ulrike

Hi,

Thank you for the link. I see that copying a folder from C drive to I drive (USB port) should be possible.

I do want to copy at least one folder. The best version I came up with changed at least the ERROR message to "3 <0x00000003) Accessing Source Directory C:\Documents\Blind\  The system cannot find the path specified."

I used:

robocopy C:\Documents\Blind\  I:\Documents\Blind /e /np /tee /log:backup_log.txt
pause

My Command Prompt is "C:\Users\DELL>" Does that mean I have to specify the file path to the folder differently?

With thanks,

Hi UIlack,

Here is a link for reference of using "Robocopy".
Robocopy

Please open an administrator command line to have a check and ensure the source path(C:\Documents\Blind\) is the correct. According to my experience, the "Documents" folder should usually be located in the Users folder(C:\Users\user name\Documents).
