How to use Robocopy to exclude directories?

/XD directories [directories]...: exclude directories matching given names/paths.

RoboCopy D:\ /MIR R:1 /W:1 /XD D:\System Volume Information\ Z:\, does someone has any suggestions on how to exclude a directory for Robocopy function?

I do not understand that I do not see any directory in drive D:, called "System Volume Information", when robocopy runs his command, this directory shows on the screen, if there is one hidden system directory, it will be fine, but what there are this kind of directories, 3000 thousands so it will be unwise to exclude one by one. Referring to robocopy.txt, there is no option to exclude any hidden system directory.

Do you have suggestions on any still better to deal with this case?

  • How to mirror the directory permissions without purge the source using robocopy?

    I use robocopy to move some directories for our archives. When it is moved to archive, the file is updated with the most recent files and occasionally a script will be executed to update the archive. I was not copy security permissions and noticed that in archive all records were open to all users and given full control. I need to fix all the files already ive created in archive and copy that to proceed.

    1. how to reflect the security clearance of the directories that are already in the Archives? I want to change the security permissions to reflect those that are not in the archive without necessarily copying all files on

  • How to use product recovery CD-rom?

    How to use product recovery cd-rom on the satellite A40 range?

    Hi Daniel,.

    To use the recovery CD, simply insert the first CD (assuming there are two) in the CD drive and then just turn on your laptop while pressing the 'C' key on the keyboard. This will cause the laptop to load a minimal operating system on the CD that will start the process of recovery of the product.

    You should also be an initial menu that asks you if you want to do a complete system restore or restore 'Expert'. The full restore will delete all of your 'C' drive and will then install the entire system (excluding all the extras you'll have to install afterwards). The recovery of 'Expert' will allow you to partition your hard drive before you install the operating system in the C"" drive.

    Kind regards

  • To use Robocopy to copy files, but you will notice that after the initial backup, it ignores the unchanged files, but I don't want it!

    Hello

    I use robocopy in Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system.

    Here #1

    I would like to use Robocopy to copy a disc (z) files on an external drive (f) and want to "full backup" every time regardless of whether the files have been modified.

    How do I do that?

    I tried to use the command

    Robocopy z:\ketchup f:\ketchup/e

    It works very well if there is nothing in this record, but once the initial order has been executed. It will skip all files of unchaged but I want yet it backs up to the top anyway.

    Want to #2

    I would like also to add a unique name that includes the date and time I'm it backup (in essense a new backup folder name that contains the date and time).  Hoping to place it under scheduled tasks as soon as I get going.

    Thank you

  • How to use KEY_ENTER to simulate a NAVIGATION_CLICK?

    I want to use KEY_ENTER to simulate a NAVIGATION_CLICK, i.e. when I press the key of the keyboard, I want the application acts as I click on the trackwee. I use the code below:

    // Overrides: keyChar(...) in Screen
    
    protected boolean keyChar(char key, int status, int time) {
        switch (key) {
            case Keypad.KEY_ENTER:
                NavigationEvent clickEvent = new NavigationEvent(NavigationEvent.NAVIGATION_CLICK, 0, 0, KeypadListener.STATUS_TRACKWHEEL);
                clickEvent.post();
                return true;
        }
        return super.keyChar(key, status, time);
    }
    

    In the screen, there is an ObjectListField which "replaces: navigationClick (...)» in the field' and a ButtonField (saveButton), I add a changeListener to the button using:

    saveButton.setChangeListener (saveListener);

    and the button is built using "ButtonField.CONSUME_CLICK".

    The problem is:

    (1) when I press the Enter key on the ObjectListField the ListField is like I click on the wheel, but a "fast MEMU" appears, as you click on the empty area of the screen.

    (2) when I press the Enter key on the button, nothing happens.

    (3) when I click directly on the wheel, every thing is fine.

    How to use KEY_ENTER to simulate a NAVIGATION_CLICK?

    I solved this problem in this way:

    Override keyChar method in the class of the screen:

    protected boolean keyChar(char c, int status, int time) {
        switch (c) {
            case Keypad.KEY_ENTER:
                // check if we need to treat it as a click event.
                boolean consumed = super.keyChar(c, status, time);
                if (consumed == false) {
                    navigationClick(status, time);
                }
                return true;
        }
        return super.keyChar(c, status, time);
    }
    

    In major events, Director of the screen first catch the event and dispatches the event to the fields inside. I don't really know why invoke the navigationClick() method cannot create the button directly act as we click on the button (if anyone knows please tell me), but the code above can act as I had hoped.

  • OKR Pro, some excluded directories not getting not excluded

    Using OKR pro, version 4.50.0000.00, 2012, which seems to be the latest dated.

    Last week, I have excluded several big directories (who am save separately).

    Completely deleted all backups, rebooted, checked the directories that I've specified are listed

    in the list of files to exclude (Note: all the new directories that I added are in the Users\myname directory).

    However, after that a full backup is performed, I checked that directories that I've marked excluded were not in fact

    excluded, they are available for restore.

    This is happening because these directories under the \users directory?  The directory on the other

    who I am with success to the exclusion is at the root.

    ThinkPad E430, Windows 7 64 bit, all installed updates.

    I am happy to say that my strategy worked, i.e. excluding directories root seems to work fine, compared to the exclusion of the directories under the \users.  Still many mysteries on this program, for example, copy a backup on a USB key, also significantly increases the storage used on the original disks,.

  • How to use the Add-ons that were previously purchased elsewhere?

    In view of the recent changes with CC 2015 and gradually extensions Manager... How to install and use extensions add-ons that were previously purchased directly by the developer of the extension?

    I use a large number of both DWZone and DMXzone extensions, and most of these purchases have been made well before Adobe even got Add-ons or even the creative cloud. DMXzone created their own extension manager, so there is no worry there on how to use these extensions that I bought. However, DWzone extensions have always been installed and managed by Adobe Extension Manager. Now that's possible is no longer in 2015 CC of Dreamweaver, the only way to use the DWzone extensions is to buy through Adobe modules. It would not be a problem if I didn't already bought already - directly to the developer. It would seem that the only way that I can use extensions Dwzone through Add-ons (the recommended way to Adobe) is to pay for them everywhere, and will simply not happen.

    To my knowledge, DMXzone is the only extension developer who has provided a way to manage extensions outside of Adobe applications, so this problem might be a big problem with many users who have purchased various Directors extensions in the past.

    Is this something that extension developers should be outside or y at - it something that Adobe is made to help fill this gap? Otherwise, I'm stuck with older versions of Dreamweaver because of the extensions I use.

    Hi Steve,.

    Just to be clear, is the extension of the DMX Zone Manager works with other extensions, including our (project seven). It is a good solution, until we develop our own.

  • P2V windows using robocopy servers

    Hello

    I start a virtualization project where some very large volumes of data must be migrated. The plan is to P2V system first of all partitions, use robocopy to migrate the data from the physical server to the virtual server during a week (while users continue to access the physical box) and finally to make the cut on the virtual machine.

    I wonder if anyone has any suggestions on how best to manage the challenges of active directory/SID by doing this. I thought the following process:

    1. P2V system partitions

    2. Change IP and name on the virtual machine computer

    3. Run robocopy

    4. Remove the source server from domain

    5. Source stop server

    6. Remove the target VM to the field

    7. Add again target server to the domain

    I'm not really sure, but if this hangs together. I'd be interested to hear from someone who has been through this process.

    Neil.

    Rather than make the P2V firstly, why not do finally?

    01. create a new virtual machine with the same number of volumes than your current physical server (a vmdk per flight) and size according to the needs

    02 run robocopy of large volumes, ensuring to copy the ACL to the new virtual machine

    03 planning downtime

    04. all users instantly and last incremental copy of data

    05 P2V system partition

    06. in the meantime, close the new virtual machine.

    07. rename or move the vmdk containing the flight system in the new virtual machine.  The idea here is to replace the system partition with the P2V version.

    08 copying the vmdk from the P2V on the new virtual machine (make sure that the name of the copied file vmdk matches original filename of the vmdk that you have renamed or moved)

    09. now that the system partition was replaced by version P2V, stop the physical source server

    10. put on your virtual computer

    11. clean of the P2V and get right with the correct IP address networking

    12. test, test and test again more

    You could do the P2V firstly, sysprep, rename, Web redirection, etc., but the approach listed above gives you a bit of an easier help.  If something is wrong or doesn't work, you simply close the virtual machine and feed your physical server to the top.  Then you can rename or replace the initial volume of the system on the virtual machine and get ready to try all over again.

    Good luck!

  • How to use a custom in OBPM jsp taglibs?

    Could someone, please, explain to me the steps on how to use a taglib custom inside OBPM 10 g with jsp?
    I created a custom taglib, it works with other projects (with jdeveloper, for example), but I'm missing something to make it work with Obpm.

    Thank you

    Make sure you copy the .tld and .jar files appropriate for the tag library in the directories for the BPM execution:

    Copy the .tld into /webapps/workspace/WEB-INF

    Copy the jar file of taglib in /webapps/workspace/WEB-INF/lib

    Make sure you restart the workspace after making the above changes. If you are using enterprise, you must rebuild and install le.war/.ear to the workspace and to redeploy.

  • How to use FaceTime with Siri

    I you would Siri have been able to dial phone numbers using FaceTime, so my question is, is it possible? And if so, how?

    Hey MichaelnAvallone,

    Thank you for reaching out to help through Apple Support communities. Looks like you are wanting to make calls FaceTime with Siri. If so, I'd be happy to explain how to make this happen. First, you'll want to press on and hold the Home button or say "Hey Siri" to activate Siri. Then, for example, you can simply say, "make an audio call FaceTime to MOM" and Siri will only start a FaceTime call audio. If you say 'FaceTime Mom' Siri will begin a FaceTime call with video of this contact.

    The link below shows the ways to learn how to use Siri.

  • How to use iCloud

    HI, please help a total techaphobe. I need to store my photos in iCloud (that is already installed on my iPad, I have Apple ID n all). I tried to select the photos, but there is no option, then save in the cloud. Perhaps they are there already as the AutoSave is enabled, in which case, I need to have access to make sure that there so I can remove from iPad. There is nothing in "iCloud Drive" (I have no idea what Drive is in iCloud). All I can find on the line is either too complicated (it can not be that complicated) try to put myself in place (which I am already), or is completely irrelevant, even the things in apple support. I'm sure it's there somewhere, but it seems that I have to trawl through so much, I hope one of us guys can help me with a frank explanation...

    Go to iCloud.com on a browser and click the Photos app to see if your photos are indeed already in iCloud.  You can also check the Photos app on your iPad as well.

    Another thing to note, you can't delete photos from your iPad, because, unfortunately, is not how iCloud works.  It's a synchronization service and not an archival.  There is not your traditional cloud based.  Which means that it syncs your data on all of your devices that have them at your disposal.  Remove a device and it went on all devices.

    Hope that helps.

  • With no headphone jack, how to use the iPhone in my car 7

    Okay, so here's the challenge.  I have a power source and a headphone and not Bluetooth.  It works perfectly with iPhones before 7.  But with 7, it isn't possible to use the same configuration I had for years.  I own my car, and I have no interest in buying a new car just to support a new phone.  And since this will be a problem for the years to come if I stay with Apple, I would like to know what are the solutions are available.

    So, how to use the new iPhone 7 while remaining responsible and using my car speakers?  Dongles Bluetooth that I need to reload, it's probably not.

    Thus, looking for ideas that might have people.  I can't be the only one with this concern.

    It's almost a certainty that a third party adapter will appear quickly. The new Macbook has a single port usb - c and people asked the same question, 'how to load and use USB at the same time." There are today dozens of solutions for the Macbook, and then it will be with the iPhone 7. An adapter with a 3.5 mm jack and a port of loading Lightening would be my guess. Kickstarter entrepreneurs are probably already working on it.
