Software for Hard Drive back

Kurgen · 3 Jan 2018 at 13:36

I will be shortly swapping laptops, is there some free back software to copy my data files over. I dont want to clone the drive, just copy folders. I have found windows not to be reliable using copy paste for large amounts of data

What sort of access denied errors? Have you tried /COPYALL on the end? Are you running the batch file as Administrator too?
