Robocopy quick help

[ShivP]

Hi guys

I am installing a new HDD and want to copy my entire D: drive to K: drive.

This is around 1TB data, and 2TB for my second hard drive to copy to K:

I have just tried

robocopy D:\ K:\ /e /r:3 /w:5

It started copying a load of files, but as far as I can see the files aren't actually in the K: drive? So I stopped it.

Am I doing this correctly?
Also, in terms of /mt as I have a 3700X should I just go /mt:16 ?

Thanks

Thank you chaps

I want to now copy my second drive to the new K: drive

How can I avoid robocopy overwriting any of the data already on the new drive, whilst copying over from the second old drive?

It will only copy over if it sees a folder/filename the same with a new date.

Perfect, thanks

Hello all

I have just used robocopy again. I copied files from one drive to a folder on the root of another drive.

I can't see the folder in windows explorer, but the files are definitely there (i.e. I can search for them and it has taken ~700GB from my storage drive which is the amount that was copied over)

I have enabled seeing hidden folders. What am I doing wrong?!
