Robocopy command and hidden files

Hi
To ensure that the robocopy command copy

need some particular option or not?
Thanks

by default, robocopy does copy hidden files.
You can specify an attribute filter:
/IA:[RASHCNETO] :: Include only files with any of the given Attributes set.
/XA:[RASHCNETO] :: eXclude files with any of the given Attributes set.
get more info by running robocopy /?

Robocopy still copying hidden files

When a user comes on site with their laptop, we provide them the means to backup their laptop docs to a server share. We also backup the laptop when a user leaves the business in order to have a good backup of the user data before we re-build the laptop.
We currently have a script file using XCopy to copy all of the users data (windows 7) (i.e. My Docs, Pictures, Favorites, etc) to a network archive share folder.
I have been testing Robocopy on the command line to replicate this process. Whatever I do,when running robocopy - only use files where archive bit is set, and ignore all system, hidden and temp files. It still starts the backup at the hidden
folder Appdata.
Below is the command I have tried.
robocopy c:\users\(username) \\server\sharename
/s /m /FFT /XA:SHT /Z /W:5 /FP /XJ
What am I missing? Thanks

Hello,
we have similar needs but didn't want to copy everything from the "User-folder". So I just build a script that will take all the important folders the /MIR will only copy the "new files" so there is not extra stuff. Have you tried your script with different
/options? what does the /MIR do In this scenario?
robocopy.exe /MIR /W:1 /R:1 "%USERPROFILE%\Favorites" "\\ServeShare\Backups$\%username%\%computername%\Favorites"
robocopy.exe /MIR /W:1 /R:1 "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop" "\\ServeShare\Backups$\%username%\%computername%\Desktop"
robocopy.exe /MIR /W:1 /R:1 "%USERPROFILE%\Documents" "\\ServeShare\Backups$\%username%\%computername%\Documents"
robocopy.exe /MIR /W:1 /R:1 "%USERPROFILE%\Pictures" "\\ServeShare\Backups$\%username%\%computername%\Pictures"
robocopy.exe /MIR /W:1 /R:1 "%USERPROFILE%\Videos" "\\ServeShare\Backups$\%username%\%computername%\Videos"
robocopy.exe /MIR /W:1 /R:1 "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Sticky Notes" "\\ServeShare\Backups$\%username%\%computername%\Sticky Notes"
exit
this is copy of the script we use. You should also always use the %USERPROFILE% env. variable. on the script.

Flash capacity and hidden files

I am about to order a new Mac Pro and am trying to work out whether to get 512 or 1TB flash storage
I have an 2007 MP, 4 drives in it but looking at the main drive and its content I cannot account for all of the used space.
The main (boot disk) shows 567GB used
Using Cmd + I on all the folders in the 1TB boot disk I get the following:-
So it appears that most of the unaccounted for space (136 GB of 146GB) is sitting in the Users folders.
So my questions is what would the "hidden" files be and would those reside on the flash drive in a new Macpro
Assuming I will put all of the Document files etc onto the Pegasus storage and that I would have the same apps on board, would it be safe to say to allow for
i.e. the 512GB should be sufficient !
Regards

Thanks form the reply DWB (Yosemete Sam !)
Would I be right in thinking that the User's directory would, in the case of the new Mac Pro, always reside on the flash drive?
So in my case above, providing I moved all User content (i.e. Documents, moves, desktop content,) to the Pegasus storage then I could expect to need 256 GB of storage and a 512GB flash storage should be sufficient to run all my apps etc?

Http server and hidden files

Is there a way to disable the serving of hidden files. I'd like to block the http/application server from serving any hidden file such as .bash_history.
Any help is appreciated.

It is strange.
But, you edit /etc/smb.conf
and edit the [global] section and add:
veto files = /Desktop DB/Desktop DF/Trash/Move & Rename/
and then restart Windows services - probably enough to
sudo killall -HUP smbd
assuming of course that all Windows users are logged off at the time

Boot Camp 3.0 and hidden files

I've upgraded Boot Camp to 3.0.
Windows XP can access Mac disks except all files in my /Users folder (Desktop, Documents, Library, etc.).
Clicking option "Show hidden files and folders" only shows mac's hidden files.
Can anyone help?

Hello everyone:
By deleting the Xauthority hidden file on Mac and then booting into windows, it will work GUI wise. However once you are back in the Mac OS X environment and if you launch any application using X11 or X 11 itself, it will rebuild the Xauth. file once more and the temp hack is no longer usable. So for all guys that want to use mac70's hack and never use X11 then go for it if you only want GUI listings of your user home folder files.
By the way nice discovery mac70

Time machine and hidden files

Hi all
Apples old Backup software didnt backup hidden files (which i think really *****), but the question is does Time Machine backup hidden files as well?

The best way I have found to restore hidden files using Time Machine is to download the "HiddenFiles" widget from the widgets downloads here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html
Once you have hidden files enabled, then they also show up in Time Machine, and appear to restore just as easily as normal files

Unable to configure Reporting Services 2012 after using 'netsh http delete urlacl' command and .EXE file also.

One of my servers quit responding during some troubleshooting of another issue and when I try
to reconfigure it I am receiving Results as follows:
Reserving url http://+:80
The URL has already been reserved.
It appears to me that there is something with the Virtual Directory that is not allowing me to use it or
overwrite it. If I change the name or the port the new configuration works fine, however this is part of a scale-out test environment and I need to keep the virutal directory names the same.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled SSRS in an attempt to resolve, but that did nothing to this issue.
I have used 'netsh http delete urlacl' command and deleted saved urls also but still am facing issue.
How can I manually list, delete, or edit Virtual Directories in SSRS 2012?

Hi Syed,
Based on my research, the issue can be caused by the default values for Report Server Web Service and Report Manager has already been reserved. In order to trouble shoot this issue, please refer to the following steps:
To check this issue, we can run the following command in the command windows:
netsh http show urlacl | find "Report"
It should returns the reserved URL as below:
Reserved URL :
http://+:80/ReportServer/
User:
Reserved URL :
http://+:80/Reports/
User:
Then we can delete the reserved URLs with the command below and recreate them to fix this issue:
netsh http delete urlacl http://+:80/ReportServer/
netsh http delete urlacl http://+:80/Reports/

Find all files and hidden files on copmputer? scan program?

what's that program t hat scans everything and shows you everything on your computer? like it separates into folders like music, users, applications, library, etc??
thanks

I don't understand the question. Finder does that. everything is separated in folders and so on. what exactly do you want?

How can I see the hidden file and erase it?

I had to make a file starting "." and had to put it on my FTP client. I made it by Text Edit and Microsoft word and save it. Since it is hidden file, I can't see on my Mac but when I use the FTP client and click post, the file listing was showed up and I can check as "Show Hidden file". Then I could post the files on the FTP client. However, since I don't need it on my computer, I'd like to erase it but can't find the files. How can I find the hidden files? Thank you.

if you know the folder then navigate to that folder. Open the Terminal application in your Utiities folder and do the following::
Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

EmieSiteList and EmieUserList
Microsoft Security - Privacy Concerns
I found two unknown directories on my PC in my user profile. I have, so far, been unable to identify what put them there, which process owns them, and when I delete them (using Admin escalated privileges) they come back after a few minutes or immediately
after reboot.
     c:\users\USERNAME\appdata\local\EmieSitelist\container.dat
     c:\users\USERNAME\appdata\local\EmieUserlist\container.dat
     C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\EmieSiteList\container.dat
     C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\EmieUserlist\container.dat
It was time, anyway, so I wiped the drive using factory low-level overwriting and performed a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro using a freshly downloaded ISO from Microsoft; one with an ESD distribution, written to a new just out-of-the-bedamned-hardshell-plastic
flashdrive..
I just completed the clean install, in this sequence:
Boot to flashdrive and let Windows create partitions then install. Reboot. Check AppData; no folders found.
Activate. Check AppData; no folders found.
Run first Update; install everything except Bing Bar and Desktop.    Check AppData; no folders found. Reboot. Check AppData; no folders found.
Add Feature Windows Media Center. Check AppData; no folders found. Reboot. Check AppData; no folders found.
Run Updates a second time. Check AppData; no folders found. Reboot. Check AppData; no folders found.
Remove MS C++ v12 x86 and x64 installed during Update.    Check AppData; no folders found. Reboot. Check AppData; no folders found.
Download from MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/default) Redistributables MS C++ x86 and x64, 2005, 2008, 2010, and 2012.4 versions, and install in sequence. Check AppData
after each install; no folders found. Reboot after each install and check AppData; no folders found.
Run Updates a third time. Response was No Updates Available. Check AppData; no folders found.
Reboot. Check AppData; all four sub-directories are now present.
These sub-directories and dat-files are not, so far, present in the AppData\Roaming directory.
There is nothing except Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro WMC and the 10 MS C++ packages installed; and MS Silverlight and AMD (videocard) Catalyst Control Center on the machine. Windows Defender is present but is installed as part of Windows 8 and 8.1;
and its' updates are provided via the MS Update process. All - repeat ALL of these items are provided by Microsoft.
My questions are: What are the Emie directories for; what program created them, and what does the various container.dat files "contain"? And . . . if not absolutely necessary, How do I get rid of them and keep them from coming back?
First attempt at Solution:
Permissions are Full for System, USERNAME, and group Administrators. The USERNAME is the Owner, and Effective Permissions for each of the 3 is Full.
Open Command Prompt (Admin)
C:\Windows\system32>cd\
C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\EmieSiteList\container.dat
C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\EmieSiteList
C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\EmieUserList
C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\EmieUserList\container.dat
C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\EmieUserList\container.dat
C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\EmieUserList
C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\EmieSiteList
C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\EmieSiteList\container.dat
C:\>
BOTH Files and Directories are no longer Hidden. The Directories still show that the files within are READ-Only, but checking the actual file shows that it is no longer R-O.
I then deleted each of the 4 directories and closed Windows (File) Explorer.
After less than 3 minutes reading pages on the internet (at Microsoft's Ask Windows Community), I opened Windows Explorer to check and found that the sub-directories had re-created themselves in both the Local and LocalLow directories.
The container.dat files were back in the Local sub-dir and after another few minutes, also back in the LocalLow sub-dir.
Both the sub-directories and the container.dat files are once again Super-Hidden.
Analysis using Windows utilities and SysInternals and NirSoft tools have not identified which object or process or service owns these objects.
ADDED: My system is a home system, not connected to any work domain via VPN or otherwise. WHY is the Windows Update Team not spending time to implement condition-and-error-checking to ensure that unneeded updates, services, and changes are not made
without the system owner/operator permission? Further, WHY is this particular issue so hard to find info about; what is being kept from customers and why?

Internet Explorer 11 (on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1) provides increased performance, improved security, and support for the modern technologies like HTML5 and CSS3 that power today’s Web sites and services. By adding better backward compatibility with
Enterprise Mode, Internet Explorer 11 now helps customers stay up to date with the latest browser—and facilitates using the latest software, services, and devices.
IE11 Enterprise Mode can be set in the Group Policy Console, or by adding a
Registry setting:
REGISTRY:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]

If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, Internet Explorer opens all websites using Standards mode.
Now to
properly close and conclude this

Robocopy Log Shows All Files Copied but Folder Properties Different on Source and Target

Hi,
I'm replacing an old 2003 R2 server with a 2012 R2 server and moving data to it. I used robocopy to migrate data. No users are currently accessing the source so there are no open files by users.
The source folder is:
27.9 GB with 194,490 files and 14,273 folders.
Robocopy copied the data and reported no errors but the destination folder only has:
24.6 GB with 181,487 files and 14,167 folders.
I ran robocopy twice more. Each time, the log shows that it skipped 14,273 directories and 194490 files.
So robocopy believes the source and destination directories are in synch. But the properties of the directory show me different numbers. Any ideas? I need to move a few more TB of data and be confident that everything copied.
Here's the command I'm running:
robocopy \\server-old\d$\data \\server-new\d$\data /E /COPYALL /DCOPY:T /R:5 /W:3 /TEE /V /LOG:D:\Logs\log1.log
Thanks,
Greg

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
As far as i know, system Volume Info and Recycler are NOT transferred when you use robocopy to transfer all the files/folders from one drive to another.
And Robocopy has switch "/MIR" which you can use to Mirror a complete directory tree if required.

How to recover hidden files and folders from memor...

When you connect your memory card to a PC or connect your phone as a mass storage device to a PC which is infected by a virus, the virus may hide all your files and folders.
The virus also changes their attributes to "hidden" and "read only" and may move all memory card content to another hidden folder, though the size of the disk looks unchanged, files are still invisible.
Steps to recover hidden files and folders:
First, change the settings in "folder options" so that we can see all hidden files and folders,
Open any folder > select organise > folder and search options, select view tab and under hidden files and folders setting, select "show hidden files, folders and drives", and uncheck the option "Hide protected operating system files" and click ok, click yes if a prompt appears for confirmation, now you should be able to see all hidden files and folders.
Second, connect your memory card to PC using a card reader or you can connect your phone as a mass storage device and note down its drive letter. (L) is the drive in my case as shown
1. If you have autorun.info file, you can manually delete it or use tools like autorun eater(or any other you like).
If all the folders are moved inside a hidden folder, select all the items inside that folder, cut them and paste them to root directory of your memory card.
If you select properties of any folder on your memory card, the hidden attribute might be locked as shown:
To solve these issues, type cmd in the start menu, right click on it and click run as administrator.
2. In the command prompt window, type the following:
L: [Press Enter]
Here, I assume L as your drive letter.
3. Type the following code to reset the attributes of all the files and folders to their default:
Attrib *.* -r -h -s /s /d [Press Enter]
After few seconds, all the files and folders will be reset to their normal attributes settings.
Hope you enjoyed reading the post and was helpful.

Check the formatting of the external hard drive. To do that, right click on the drive icon and select Get Info. (Or click once on the drive and type command +i ) The pane includes information about the drive format.
The drive should be formatted as Mac OS Extended. If it is not, run Disk Utility (App;ications / Utilities) and format the drive.
