I thought about that, but I noticed that a lot of skipped files got copied
after waiting 1 second. I am thinking I may have too many /XD in my
command line. I found some examples in a MS document and it showed it
being used once with multiple directory listings.

Hi Adam,
Add 2 switches, /r:0 /w:0 (retry zero times, wait 0 seconds).
That'll speed things up for you.

Subject: [THIN] OT -Robocopy help needed
All,
I need a little help with Robocopy. I need to copy a whole drive to a new
storage unit. I typically use Robocopy because it gets everything and
preserves permissions. In this case, I have a few directories that I need
to exclude due to my access rights. I have list permissions, but not read.
This causes Robocopy to pause and retry. I've set the /W and /R paremeters
to one each, but the extra time it takes to go through this on these
directories literally adds a few hours to my copy process. This will put
me beyond my downtime window on the cutover date.
I've tried using the /XD parameter without much luck. The intial screen
that robocopy puts out looks like this:
C:\temp>robocopy l: m: /XD l:\maindir\dir1 /XD "l:\maindir\dir2\dir 3" /SEC
/MIR /R:1 /W:1

Options : *.* /S /E /COPY:DATS /PURGE /MIR /R:1 /W:1
Yes, there is a space between "dir" and "3". That's why I put it in
quotes.
The problem I am having is the I don't seem to getting any of the other
directories outside of "maindir". The exclude seems to be working, but now
I am skipping anything else off the root (and their subdirs). If I remove
the /XD parameters. I get the entire drive, but at the much longer time
interval due to access restrictions.
Any ideas?

ps-directory names have been changed in the above output to protect the
innocent.
