I'm trying to build Robocopy scripts to replicate my old synctoy but I seem to have something wrong with my syntax.
With the below command I want to exclude ..\local settings\Temp and ... \local settings\Application Data I'm also trying to /Purge the destination NAS of those directories.
robocopy C:\users\dancedad \\dancedadnas\workbackups\Laptop /mir /XD /e "C:\Users\dancedad\AppData" /z /mt:16 /w:5 /r:3 /XD "C:\users\dancedad\Local Settings\Temp" /XD "C:\users\Dancedad\Local Settings\Application Data" /XF *.tmp /PURGE /log:C:\users\Dancedad\documents\robolog.txt /SAVE:LaptopSync
The output robolog.txt seems to show the Exc Directories, but then when you look at the log, it is still mirroring from that path? And instead of purging, I'm getting *Extra Dir entries.
