robocopy = robust copy of files
but what happens, when the process can’t access a file??
robocopy will wait and try again….
and try again,
and try again
sorry, this is german……
the default value for the timeout is 30 seconds
the default value for the retrycount is 1 million times ( 1.000.000x )
30 seconds * 1.000.000 = 30.000.000 seconds
30.000.000 seconds / 60 = 500.000 minutes
500.000 minutes / 60 = 8.333,333333 hours
8.333,333333 / 24 = 347,222222 days ~ 0.951 years
so, the parameters /r and /w must be used !!!!!!!
(shit….. i saw this after my job started and runs since several hours……)
