I am trying to run robocopy to backup my whole harddrive
This what I have so far robocopy f: G:\Backup\f\ /E /R:2 /ZB /DCOPY:T /SL
The problem I have is that I seem to be geting into a loop where is is following the shortcuts and copy that at well and for some reason on the win7 build they are looping untill the path length breaks.
Has anybody got line that wordk or can tell what switch I have wrong?
isn't the /mir for miror which will delte files in the backup e.g. sysnic the files? – None – 2009-09-28T18:51:09.107

Yes, don't use /MIR unless you want a mirror copy. The /SL is your problem. It's following/backing up the symbolic links, which you don't want. – Gordon Bell – 2009-09-28T19:51:11.193
