Hello, I'm attempting to set up a daily Robocopy task on a Windows Server 2016 to duplicate a large directory tree -- including data, timestamps and ACLs -- to a Samba 4.5.12 server. This is my Robocopy command: Robocopy.exe C:\source \\foo\bar /XA:SH /XJ /MIR /NODCOPY /COPY:DTSO /A+:A /ZB I noticed that for a significant number of files, Roboc...

What is the best way to backup my NT 4.0 Server box that is only 8GB to my NEW SAMBA file server that I have added to the domain? Xcopy? Smbclient? Robocopy? DD command in Linux? I found some good info. on Google about Robocopy that is supposed to be great and will paste the information below. Also, can someone SEND me the latest copy of ROBOCOPY VERSION 1.92 please. I have a really old version and would like 1.92 because it has the mirror function...

Ok so my problem is I am running a shell command to copy certain file types from one directory to another and it returns multiple errors the code is models=c("1sFE1cFE","1sFE1cFEp") for(m in 1:length(models)){ shell(paste("robocopy C:\\Sim_Test_1\\Sim",models[m]," "," C:\\Sim_Test_1\\SimArchive\\Sim",dirnum,"\\pinrepstd *.std *.rep *.tpl *.pin *crap.txt",sep=""),wait=TRUE) } the errors are Warning messages: 1: running command 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c robocopy C:\Sim_...

I'm still battling the dreaded "ERROR 5 (0x00000005)" error when trying to robocopy files from a W2K box to Samba 3.0.7 on FreeBSD. I've been fighting this since Samba 2.2.8 and the upgrade hasn't fixed it for me despite the entries in the changlelog. Now here's the strange part. If robocopy is sending NEW files, files which are on W2K but not on the Samba box, the co...

I've been tinkering with this for days now and I can't seem to figure out the problem. I know there were problems < 3.0.8 with robocopy and a few other programs, but even after upgrading, I'm still have a similiar issue with related errors. I'm running Samba 3.0.10 on FreeBSD pointed to an NT4 DC. I'm trying to copy files over to one of it's shares via robocopy from a few other NT4/W2K/XP machines. From the cli...

I am having problems using rsync on cygwin to properly copy the ownership of files from windows to windows. I am running: rsync -avPA //src_addr/some/path /local/dst/path/ Based on: http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg18920.html and: http://www.nabble.com/Re:-I-need-rsync-+-acl-support-for-windows--t2462647.html ENV: CYGWIN=ntsec tty I am running this on Windows Server 2003 R2

Hi, I have Samba 4.6 running on FreeBSD 11.1 with a ZFS file system. Trying to use robocopy to mirror files from Windows 8.1. Most of the files are copied without any issues, but a few fail with the following error in the robocopy log: ERROR 87 (0x00000057) Copying File <path> The parameter is incorrect. Robocopy is executed with the following options: /X /NDL /S /E /DCOPY:DAT /C...

Hi, my task was to clone a ntfs partition with around 160k files and size 90GB from one external USB disk to another - max path depth up to 256 chars. Sys 1) Win Vista SP2 Ger robocopy 0027 (probably MS bug/oversight, since Vista SP1 ENG they ship 0028) Sys 2) Centos 5.3 - rsync 3.0.6 - ntfs-3g 2009.4.4 Here are my findings, what makes me nervous though is that rsync seems to have undeterministic behaviour, too. Now in order I ran the test: robocopy /MIR F: G: - missed 24 F...

Hi list, I'm trying to use robocopy to move some files over to a samba share backed by GPFS. I keep getting "ERROR 50 (0x00000032) Time-stamping destination file ... The network request is not supported." What is strange is that the files are still coped over, even though robocopy believes the copy failed, and in the smb l...

Hello, I need to copy a Windows NAS to a Samba one preserving all stuffs (dates, owner, security, etc...) in an enterprise environment. I'm used to do that with between two Windows using robocopy and the /b (backup) flag, so I can backup files even if I do not have an ACE for my account as I have the backup and restore privileges. I need to do the same thing from Windows to Samba but using the backup flag does not work at all : it does not even copy the data. If I copy without the backup...

Hi all, I am trying to do a robocopy from a windows box going from a netapp to a samba box with a gpfs back end. When doing the robocopy it fails with error 282 which states " "The mounted file system does not support extended attributes". I have found that if you create the destination directory first then issue the...

Hello: I've been working for a few days on getting a FreeBSD 5.3 server up and running as a samba data backup server. My goal is to schedule periodic backups of our file server. After reading recommendations (e.g. by Mr. Terpstra) I've focused my attempts aroung robocopy, xxcopy, net rpc share migrate shares. However, I'm running into stumbling blocks that seem to involve a problem with permissions to write to ACLs -- but only when trying to transfer files from Windows to Samba. Before you pass this by as another "can't change ACLs" post: YES,...

Hello there. I'm consistently running into trouble using robocopy to copy a large directory structure, with some 50000 files, from a samba share to a local windows clients. I'm using packaged 4.6.2 samba, on Centos 7, running on as KVM VMS. Both machines I am running exhibit the following behaviour: - I want to copy a large folder structure with 50000 file...

Hello, i few seconds ago i was on this site : https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Robocopy_based_SysVol_replication_workaround The Link under the section "Download" "Mircosoft Windows 2003 Resource Kit Tools" says, that the Download is no longer available. It makes sense , because Windows Server 2003 is not supported anymore :) Maybe Somebody of the Samba Team can...

...ion from a Windows box just fine. ACL's are in other words working, and from the SSH command line I have no issues when I test AD connectivity. However, in order to fully deploy I need to be able to bulk copy over existing directories with owner info intact, and to do that I have usually used Robocopy with /COPY:DATSO (or /COPYALL which is /COPY:DATSOU though I believe Samba 4 doesn't use the U flag anyway) to get both the NTFS security (S) and owner (O) information correct. But trying to do that to my new file server (using the domain administrator account in an elevated command line) spits...

...t the problem also exists on a local virtual machine that runs on the Debian server. By extremely I mean really abysmal: * Copying a folder with 50 files total size 10 MB to Win7: ~ 20 minutes at 3-4 Kb/s * Copying the same folder to Windows Server 2003: ~ 3 seconds * Copying the same folder with ROBOCOPY to Win 7: ~3 seconds * Copying a large random file 500 MB to Win 7: Takes ages to start copy progress than up to 10 MB/s * Copying the same large file to Windows Server 2003: Starts immediately to copy and takes a few seconds * Copying the same large file with ROBOCOPY using Win7: also decent perfo...

Hi all, I'm trying to sincronize a share from a W2K to a samba 3.0.13-1 server. The problem i'm having has to do with the timestamps of the file that causes every file to get recopied by robocopy every time. Example: Doing a stat on the Samba side: File: `client.dat' Size: 7804 Blocks: 16 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 6807h/26631d Inode: 8815015 Links: 1 Access: (0775/-rwxrwxr-x) Uid: ( 2080/fileadmin) Gid: ( 512/Domain Admins) Access: 2005-0...

Hi Tom Did you solve your problem woth robocopy? I have "Access Denied" error when trying to copy with /SEC option (in order to retain the NTFS permissions). It says it is not NTFS filesystem. Of course, I am using the ext3 filesystem with acl support so it should work? thanks very much for any suggestion dejan gambin
