Script for File copy Older than X Days | ROBOCOPY Batch file

Hey All, Issue : One more challenge I faced yesterday. Robocopy batch files which I scheduled were getting failed with error code 0x1 Observation : All robocopy schedules were getting failed with error code 0x1 One more thing I noticed is that the Task manager was showing multiple instances of Robocopy exe . Task manager gave way to the solution Solution : After googling number of forums, I found switch to exit the Robocopy at the end. I added it at the end of command, but it did not work. It gave error 0x80 :   Quitting : /QUIT Specified on Command Line. After that I tried one more option. Defining one more line of code and specifying the /QUIT option there. e.g. ***************************************************************** @echo off For /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do (set mydate=%%c-%%a-%%b) For /f "tokens=1-2 delims=/:" %%a in ('time /t') do (set mytime=%%a%%b) robocopy "\\share\source&q
