I am trying to use Robocopy to perform a backup on a daily basis and only update files which have either been updated, or they are new files.
At the moment I am using the following script within a Batch file:-
@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET _source="\\REMOTE-SERVER\Share"
SET _dest="\\LS-WXLDE8\Shared_QP"
SET _what=/COPYALL /B /SEC /MIR
:: /COPYALL :: COPY ALL file info
:: /B :: copy files in Backup mode.
:: /SEC :: copy files with SECurity
:: /MIR :: MIRror a directory tree
SET _options=/R:0 /W:0 /LOG:MyLogfile.txt /NFL /NDL
:: /R:n :: number of Retries
:: /W:n :: Wait time between retries
:: /LOG :: Output log file
:: /NFL :: No file logging
:: /NDL :: No dir logging
ROBOCOPY %_source% %_dest% %_what% %_options% /MOT:1440
At the moment I am getting the following messages within my log file:-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm trying to backup from a Windows 8 Computer to a Buffalo Link Station Duo (NaS Drive) - I've allowed users / guests / admins on that folder for full permissions (read/write), can't find anywhere where you can add 'Network' privileges on the control panel, there is no option to add user groups.
Any ideas?
You don't have the right user permissions to access the directory.
You need to run as Admin (right click on batch file and select "Run as Administrator"). You are most likely being blocked because of UAC if directory/file permissions are correct. I know this was posted forever ago, but figured I'd toss in a response since I am here.
