I've set up a robocopy script and it functions correctly.

However, within the summary in the log file, the Total Times does not make sense to me as the job runs for about 109 minutes, but total returns 3:39:06?

Can someone explain why this looks wrong.

  • Would have been great to have a response for this... – Simon Nov 05 '20 at 00:28
  • I should be a bug related to `/MT:1`. The real "Total" time is "Copied" time + "Extras" time. MS should make Robocopy open source, I think. – KeyKi May 13 '22 at 19:09
  • The total time is broken as soon as you use the `/MT` option not just `/MT:1`. – Marcel Mar 21 '23 at 13:47
