robocopy /secfix changes the archive bit

[techie99]

We use the following command line to robocopy files from one server to another.

"c:\program files\resource kit\robocopy.exe" \\server1 \\server2 /e /np /secfix /purge /W:0 /r:0 /log:e:\backup\logs\weekly.log

The files are copied over with no problem. What is happening though is that the archive bit is getting checked on the files touched by /secfix. What switch do I need to use so this doesn't happen anymore?

Anyone ever find a solution to this problem? I get exactly the same thing.

Thanks!

Upgrade your robocopy. It is part of the Windows 2003 Resource Kit Tools. The newest version has more capabilities and has fixed many bugs from older versions.

The /SECFIX is no longer used. Use /COPY:S instead.

We had the same problem, I couldn't find a way around it so we purchase a Data Replicator from
