Robocopy, but file is missing

[Jnrtech]

Just wondering if anyone has seen this problem...

This is the situation...

there is a process that drops these 200kb-500kb files into this directory through the day.. and i have a robocopy batch file that will robocopy certain files to another server and then I have a move in there to move them to another directory on the server to sort them out

but occassionally I'm finding I have 1 or 2 missing files.. when I go back to the logs that I've set up it Robocopy shows that it's been copied over but it's not there...

Can anyone give me some advice on where these files are gone

thanks

never found robocopy to miss files, any particular size files it seems to be missing? are they missed at the same time? or just at random

they are missing at random times during the night...

I'm not sure if it's becasue robocopy is copying them before they fully transfered into the source directory...

Did you tried to exclude "temporary" files ? ("/NOCOPY:T" i think)

Better solution would be to have only ONE robocopy thread across your network... or even a scheduled batch...
