How to audit a mirroring job?

Question

I am using SyncBack to mirror two shared folders on two separate shared folders(SMB) on two servers in the same trust domain.

I checked the option to copy also the folder rights:

 Copy sub-directory and file security permissions (only valid for NTFS)

The SyncBack job reported successful when finished. But I had history where some rights were not copied or some files were missing.

How can I audit if the copy/mirroring was successful, check all the files and the security permissions against its original copy?

It has an option that only logs the differences without copying them.

The command was:

ROBOCOPY C:\Data2\ \\srvbk1\d$\DATA\DATA\ /e /l  /log:diff.txt

Explanation of the command switches used above:

/e Recurse through sub-directories (including empty ones)
/l Don’t modify or copy files, log differences only
/log:reconcile.txt Write log to reconcile.txt (Recreate if exists)
/log+: reconcile.txt (Optional variant) Write log to reconcile.txt (Append if exists)
