This is my command line: robocopy d:\ e:\ /mir /l /xd $RECYCLE.BIN
And this is the output:
I've tried D:\$recycle.bin, "$Recycle.bin" and so on, but it will not exclude the directory and keeps failing on it. So how do I exclude this directory and it's subdirectories? I've searched google and seen people with similar problems but I couldn't find a solution.
edit: Just figured out I can use /r:0 to eliminate the retry and it will continue to the rest of files, but I still want to know why it isn't excluding $recycle.bin ...
Uhg, NVM, it's because powershell treats $ as a variable indicator..doh.
And this is the output:
