I try to use robocopy to copy all userdata from : "C:\Users"

Command:

robocopy /b /e /xjd /sl /a-:RSH /r:1 "C:\Users" "E:\backup"

In the User directories are hidden folders. The parameter /A-:RSH should remove those attributes:

/a-:[RASHCNET] --- Removes the specified attributes from copied files.
R – Read only
A – Archive
S – System
H – Hidden
C – Compressed
N – Not content indexed
E – Encrypted
T – Temporary
O - Offline

For example: The folder "E:\backup\Default" (Source: C:\Users\Default) is still hidden and write protected on the destination drive. Can anyone explain why those attributes doesn't get removed ?

Regards, Int3g3r

PS: I tried this also with the /copy:DT parameter. If i understand this right the attributes should not getting copied when i use the /copy:DT parameter. But this doesn't work either.

  • Files and Folders are not the same. Maybe this is the issue here. The /a-: parameter is maybe only for FILES. I add now the /dcopy:DT parameter and try it again. – int3g3r Jul 02 '20 at 11:51
  • The /dcopy:DT parameter doesn't work too. The directory "Default" is still hidden. – int3g3r Jul 02 '20 at 12:35

I realized the same issue is definitely fact.

My simple workaround -- put robocopy to a CMD script and add this line below the one calling robocopy.exe:

attrib -r -s -h "E:\backup\Default"
