My company uses Robocopy to backup our systems, and in the backup folders, the shown names are not correct.
What is expected, is "This PC > Drive > backup > Store > SYSTEMNAME". What is shown in the address bar in Window's Explorer, though, is along the lines of "This PC > Drive > backup > Store > Users".
When clicked on, it then displays the real file path, "Drive:/backup/store/SYSTEMNAME". It only does this for certain systems, despite the Robocopy commands being identical, same for the system names.
I think you will need to show the Robocopy commands you are using for these backup jobs. It'd be nice to understand where the scripts are executed from as well—on each machine or from a server? – Pimp Juice IT – 2017-08-27T19:34:53.463
What is "clicked on"? Are you using symlinks, hardlinks or junctions? – El8dN8 – 2017-08-27T20:59:02.500
@McDonald's They are executed from a sever. An example of one of ours would be along the lines of
robocopy /R:0 /W:0 /NP /LOG+:\logs\COMP_NAME.log /mir "\\COMP_NAME\c$\users" "D:\backup\STORE\COMP_NAME" /XD "temporary internet files" "appdata" "history" "cookies" "application data" "channels" "temp" "local settings" "start menu" /XF "*.mp3"
