[German<\/a>]In Windows 10 version 1809 and version 1903\/1909 Microsoft has added some extensions to the robocopy command with the preview updates of September 16, 2020. To my knowledge, Microsoft has not documented anything so far.<\/p>\n

Robocopy extensions<\/h2>\n

\"\"On September 16, 2020 Microsoft released several cumulative updates as previews for Windows 10 versions 1809, 1903 and 1909. I had reported about this in the blog post\u00a0 Windows 10 V1809\/190x: Preview Updates (September 16, 2020)<\/a>. In the change list you can also find the following note.<\/p>\n

Adds new functionality to the robocopy<\/strong> command.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Microsoft has, as far as I've noticed, nothing documented so far regarding possible extensions. The documentation page for robocopy<\/a> was last updated on June 7, 2020. My Twitter request<\/a> to the Windows Update Social Media Team has so far no result …<\/p>\n

The robocopy extensions<\/h2>\n

German blog reader jss <\/em>has left the following information as a comment – so the new commands and options are probably fixed..<\/p>\n

\/IM:: Contains modified files (different modification times).<\/p>\n

\/LFSM :: Operation in \"little free space\" mode, allows copying, pausing and resuming (see comments).<\/p>\n

\/LFSM:n [CMM] :: \/LFSM, specifies the floor size in [K:Kilo,M:Mega,G:Giga] bytes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Besides that, the current 2004 robocopy help, according to the comment of jss, mentions two more switches that the 1809 does not throw out even with the update:<\/p>\n

\/SJ :: Copies connections as connections instead of as connection targets.<\/p>\n

\/COMPRESS :: Requests network compression during file transfer if necessary.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The robocopy compress command has been mentioned by Ned Pyle within this Techcommunity article<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
