Robocopy Help

TubsAlwaysWins · April 6, 2023

Hello, I am trying to transfer files from a Windows disk to a NAS share. I am attempting to use the robocopy command in PowerShell and am having issues when using the /COPYALL argument, as I need to copy Active Directory file permissions.

Below is the command im running as well as the script output. I've tried it in both Non Admin PowerShell and Administrator PowerShell. It is based off of this Link from atomicit.ca

When I remove the /COPYALL argument, it begins copying folders and files. The issue is Explicit permissions do not copy, and I need them to. (I dont want to check every single file and its permissions)

The source is from Windows server. There is one Disk split into to main partitions, C:\ and U:\. C:\ is what you would expect it to be. U:\ Is where the file share is located, with Shares at the top of the directory and subfolders and files further down the directory.

The Destination is a Synology NAS with a Shared folder created. The Synology is joined to the Domain, and I have Read\Write permissions enabled for Domain Admins.

Thoughts? I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks

Synology runs on Linux and Linux doesn’t understand Windows ACLs. This KB article from Synology may help, assuming you have the infrastructure to support it.
