robocopy didn't support directories

[athlux]

Hi,

I use "rsyncrypto" to crypt files and directories for backup purposes. Unfortunately rsyncrypto didn't copy owner and attributes of the files.

Therefore I use robocopy to save owner and attributes of files and directories:

robocopy 'C:\test' 'C:\test.crypt /E /COPY:SOUA /CREATE /R:0

This work fine in XP with robocopy V5.1.1.1010 (XP010). But it didn't fully work with Vista nor with Windows7.

The robocopy versions, released with Vista and Windows7 will "only" copy owner and attributes of files.

The owner and attributes of directories remains unchanged.

With robocopy V5.1.1.1010 (XP010) the owner and attributes of directories will be copied in Vista and Windows7 too.

Is it a feature or is it a failure of mine?

Thanks in advance

AthLux

Could you try adding /B switch to the robocopy command line ?

Think perhaps you may need this

/COPYALL :: COPY ALL file info (equivalent to /COPY:DATSOU)
