I have a robocopy script that uses /xd to exclude some folders in a /MIR copy which works well unless I delete the folder from the source - in which case it does not exclude the folder, it includes it and deletes it in the destination also!

How do I get around this one without having the directory in my source?

Thanks!

Are you using /PURGE or /MIR? – Dennis Williamson Mar 12 '11 at 1:38

The directory you do not want deleted in the mirror copy must be included in the exclusion list.

Yeah, it is in the exclusion list, but still gets deleted. – Trev Mar 12 '11 at 17:25
