Robocopy exclude

Hello everyone,

How do I exclude System Volume Information in Robocopy Windows 10?

I tried XD\ "System Volume Information" "$Recycle.bin"

System Volume Information doesn't work. Recycle.bin does.

Is this a typo?

Command should be /XD

Also use the full path C:\System volume Information

Thank you pdcopter,

For your reply.:)

I tried /XD and I get invalid parameter.


In my case I'm copying a bunch of folder and files from E:\ to F:\.
The error comes up on "F:\System Volume Information".
I tried XD\ "F:\System Volume Information"
It still didn't work.

What I don't get is how come "$Recycle.bin" is working (without the "F:") but not "System Volume Information".

Code:

/xd $RECYCLE.BIN "System Volume Information"

That's what I use in my robocopy script and it works.
