Robocopy help

Been messing about with Robocopy and have put the following as a .bat file;

robocopy "d:\" "\\MJWIN7NB\C drive\backup" /MIR

This replicates all the data on my D drive onto my netbooks HDD over the network.
What i would like to do is leave the command prompt screen visible when it finishes cus at the moment it just disappears once finished....is this possible?

just add

pause

as a new command on the next line. you'll get a "press any key to continue" prompt at the end.

add this in before the robocopy..

color c0

add this after..

color a0
pause

it'll be red with black font when running, then green with black font when done

and will say 'press any key'

I'd do this..

@Echo off
color c0
title Robocopy backup running..
robocopy /MIR c:\ d:\ etc
color a0
title Robocopy backup complete
pause
