I have a basic Robocopy question

[Guest]

I need to know if robocopy verifies the data that it moves to the destination
location.

i know the xcopy has the /v switch does robocopy have something like this or
is it built into the robocopy code where it verfies all the time?

anyone who has knowladge of this please let me know

Thanks

Thanks for the responce. I have seen that website come up more times than
once in my search. I have figured this out to a large degree.

Robocopy from what I can understand does a internal check to verify the data
has been written correctly.

however if you need more proof of verification you can turn on the Verify
command like so in a cmd window

verify on

if you type verify at the cmd window it will tell you if it is on or off

with verify on it checks the files written to the hard drive with what is in
memory.

Hope this helps someone else looking for the same information.
