The hard drive is FAT formatted and therefore doesn't support directories with extended attributes, leading me to robocopy error 282 as described here.

I am taking some work home with me these days and I transport it on a USB key because my work is on a private intranet. I am using Visual Studio 2008 and I find that the performance of builds is degraded by working off the the key.

I tried moving files from C:\Downloads\Temp to F:\Temp Both folders had no files directly under them. Downloads\Temp has about 20 folders, some of which have subfolders, which are eventually filled w...

I found I can execute a "net use" command to impersonate the necessary user account and then execute the robocopy command immediately afterwards. I...

Does anyone know if it is possible to download the latest robocopy for Windows 2003. The latest version provides the /DST option which ignores time stamps changed due to BST (British Summer Time).
