i was messing around with robocopy, specifically using the gui version. in there you can set it to /mir directory trees and also monitor for changes based on the # number of changes made to the source directory and/or time interval. well i was having some trouble where i kept getting access denied on the copy to the destination. directory. but when i look in the log file i had setup, it keeps trying to copy data over. how can i turn off or stop the the mirror/monitoring of robocopy looking at these two directories?

i guess i should rephrase what i originally wrote, i see in the task manager the running processfor robocopy. i have ended that task by killing the process in task manager, but i was wondering if there was a more graceful way to end it using the command line? i tried running robocopy /quit in the command line but it didnt seem to end anything. is that the only way to break the mirror by ending the process in task manager?

Hi, It seem that there is no command way to stop or pause the robocopy process. For getting errors, you can set the "/R:n" to change the number of retries. For control the running time of robocopy process, you can try the "/RH" and "/RF" to run the copy process in specific hours and copy files "per file" instead.Shaon Shan |TechNet Subscriber Support in forum |If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com
