Scheduled run won't inherit admin privileges
With its new fork this is possible (wait 10 seconds, then automatic execution without click) "Robust Backup" : This is a first fork version, later there will probably be other new features.

Automatically wake the HDD before backup, and put it into sleep state agai
Suggestions
I think you will find that if you schedule the task it runs without running Simulate First. So hit the schedule button - set it to begin 2-5 mins from now and it will just run without summary or prompt to proceed.

Backup without summary
"The mirror operation could not be logged" - error message popup
Feature - Show the final robocopy command in RoboMirror gui
I did get robocopy itself to run manually via: robocopy "D:\" "E:\" /E /ZB /DCOPY:T /COPYALL /V Suppose either robocopy changed or the way RoboMirror calls it up isn't equivalent to that for some reason. It would be good to add debug to show the exact command it would pass to robocopy not just the custom flags.
Changed this line: StartInfo.StandardOutputEncoding = StartInfo.StandardErrorEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(65001); Universale utf-8 should do for most things, perhaps 850 is a better code page, but it seems the Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.OEMCodePage is not returning anything useful and that's not accounted for. Should probably check for known good encoding and use that else default to utf or unicode. So now I got the operations queue running. Though it seems not to do anything...
Exception
Is it what you're looking for ? https://sourceforge.net/projects/robomirror/files/RoboMirror%20source/
Open Sourc?
Option to remove popup "pending" and "simulate first"
Correct. Imagine configuring a brand new backup plan, with a completely empty target disk. So, none of the source directories exist yet on the target.
I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. You want to mirror C:\test to D:\test, but the latter does not exist yet?
Sorry, I meant to say I've been using RoboCopy for decades. I'm just trying to adopt RoboMirror now. (Can't figure out how to modify the ticket text.)
Allow specification of a target directory whose last node does not exist
This is now possible in version 2.
I just discovered tonight that the /MT switch causes RoboCopy to mess up folder and file timestamps. I can't find anywhere to report this to Microsoft.
And it took me even longer to rediscover this discussion. :) Thanks.
robo mirror is a very good and useful software I tried it in my previous project you can see here on cleanthese site its still working very nicely.

Is it possible to add send Mail after finish? It would be so helpful.
Backup multiple folders in 1 task
Hi I have set up two Robomirror tasks to backup two source folders from my Windows 10 laptop to the SAME USB pen drive (target). I want to use the 'delete existing files and folders' option so that the source and target (backup) folders are kept in sync. But if I use that option, task 1 deletes existing files associated with task 2 and vice versa. Is there a way to ensure each backup task only deletes existing files associated with its own task ?
You can find tasks and logs here: c:\Users{UserName}\AppData\Local\RoboMirror
Hei, I have the same problem/question. Where are the tasks saved, can they be copied to the new OS / machine ? thanks for a short tipp !
One other fix I notice woud be useful: If you run it with simulate first true and it comes back and says 0 files 0 folders etc need copying, then when you click Proceed it should just finish as nothing needs copying - instead it then runs anyway
Hi Firstly - thanks for a great project Secondly - is this project still active and will be it be updated again - as I see it is still very popular and getting regular downloads! One improvement I personally would love to see is progress per file - overall progress is great, but for some larger files it would be handy to see progress of each file then you know it has no hung etc
Is it possible to Migrate robomirror tasks to a new machine, I'm going to migrate my main pc from Windows 10 to Windows 7 is it possible to mgirate scheduled tasks to the new OS?
Here is a preliminary functional version of a CMD script launching all RoboMirror backups. The script first request administrator privileges (required at least for shadow copy), the code is reused from here. Just create a .cmd file with this code : @echo off TITLE RoboMirror-All :: BatchGotAdmin :------------------------------------- REM --> Check for permissions IF "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" EQU "amd64" ( >nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\config\system" ) ELSE (...
Same suggestion here : a run all command that would enqueue all the tasks would be very useful. Thanks for Robomirror !
