Robocopy script - is it missing files?

Is this script missing a lot of files or something as it seems that there are plenty of files older than the 400 days that are being left on the server.

SET source=“F:\Shared Data\Company Shared Folders”
SET destination=“d:\company shared folder archive”

Robocopy.exe %source% %destination% /S /COPY:DATSOU /XN /XX /MINLAD:400 /MOVE /NP /xd Dean Deanr

pause

REM use /MINLAD for minimum last access date
REM use /MINAGE for minimum last modified date

I’ve never used /XX but I’m guessing using /XX along with /MINLAD is causing nothing to be copied.

/XX would keep files that don’t exist on the destination from being copied over if I’m reading it right.

I’d try Robocopy.exe %source% %destination% /L /S /COPY:DATSOU /XN /MINLAD:400 /MOVE /NP /xd Dean Deanr>%temp%\copy.log

and look at %temp%\copy.log to see what it will do.

Also, I’ve had to use /FFT if the source is a ReadyNAS unit so I’m not sure what your source is but if it’s a non-windows server, you might try adding that

Ok I changed to MINAGE and that’s certainly caused some more files to be moved. Will do a test run changing /XX and see what that moves.

Thanks!
