backuprobocopy

How can I make robocopy silent in the command line except for progress?


I'm using robocopy to do backups with a PowerShell script, and it's pretty awesome, except that I'd like it to only show the progress percentage while it copies and not all of the other information.

The other information clutters the command window, which I'd clean and simple so that it's easy to see the overall progress of the backup.

Is this possible?


Solution

  • I added the following 2 parameters: /np /nfl

    So together with the 5 parameters from AndyGeek's answer, which are /njh /njs /ndl /nc /ns you get the following and it's silent:

    ROBOCOPY [source] [target] /NFL /NDL /NJH /NJS /nc /ns /np

    /NFL : No File List - don't log file names.
    /NDL : No Directory List - don't log directory names.
    /NJH : No Job Header.
    /NJS : No Job Summary.
    /NP  : No Progress - don't display percentage copied.
    /NS  : No Size - don't log file sizes.
    /NC  : No Class - don't log file classes.
