Robocopy with volume id paths?

Is it possible to use robocopy with volume id paths?

C:\>robocopy /MIR /COPYALL /R:0 \\?\Volume{8a20c0df-ba3-44e9-8529-e6cd231a6759}\ \\?\Volume{3f1c91a3-39c0-11e6-a9fc-000c29ac2558}\

Most likely not - direct usage of Volume ID's is typically not supported.

You could always start with a

MountVol.exe  

command to map to a drive, then proceed from there.
