Again I have answer my own question. as robocopy has to scan through all files but is only logging the office files if there are a large number of other formats it may be a while before more logging is performed. By being brave and leaving it to do its thing it has continued to log.

Thanks.

I have been running the above robocopy script and in task manager its showing the cpu and memory of the robocopy.exe process going up and down but nothing has been updated in hours in the file generated. This is scanning a NAS which is around 10TB in size (total not just office files). Is it a case that its scanning through but hasn't got to more office files to log yet or has the robocopy process failed in some way?

I don't want to stop it if there is a chance its still doing what it should be.

Can anyone advise?

Many thanks.

Don't worry, answered my own question robocopy source destination (location where log file will go) and no actual copies are done.

Thanks anyway :)

In the robocopy command above, for the source location I understand you would put the location you want to scan. For the destination location what would you put? Also can you confirm that this command doesn't actually copy any files it just outputs to a log file?

Sorry if these are dumb questions but I thought it best to ask :)
