Copying Folder Problems - Scripts

[OhioYJ]

So I use scripts to occasionally duplicate, backup, etc save game files, hard drives, etc. These scripts use a mixture of xcopy and robocopy.  The problem is it seems Windows doesn't let you copy certain directories. This is on my son's PC, where he is the only user, and Admin. This line backs up his Minecraft worlds to another hard drive.

 

xcopy "C:\Users\Chase\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds\*.*" "E:\Users\Chase\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds\" /d /y /r /h /s /c /f /i

 

However this doesn't work as it appears this is a folder that I don't have permissions to copy. This "code" does work as I copy lots of other things using it. So what am I missing?

I *believe* this is your issue as (again, IIRC) those types of folders require you to manually enter admin credentials before they will copy, so an automated script will break. You *might* try turning off UAC completely and see what happens.
