Robocopy, how to log only errors?

Will the options /nfl /ndl be enough and not exclude errors too?


Solution 1:

Besides /nfl (no list of file names) and ndl (no list of directory names) there are some other switches to exlude things from the output. These are:

  • ns (no file sizes)
  • nc (no file classes)
  • np (no status)
  • njh (no job header)
  • njs (no job summary)

If you want to write your log into a text file, your command should look like this:

robocopy [source] [destination] /nfl /ndl /njh /njs /ns /nc /np >> log.txt
