I would like to avoid all existing file names and details of destination folder while using Robocopy Log.
Just want to show only copied file list and its details.
So i could save on the robocopy log file size by avoiding existing file details on log.
Is there any option to avoid it, please help out on this
I could not see any option for that

Robocopy normally overwrites those. /XN excludes existing files newer than the copy in the source directory. Robocopy normally overwrites those. /XO excludes existing files older than the copy in the source directory.
Robocopy does not keep a default log file. It does however only copy files with differences by default. So if you tried the same copy again it would skip the ones that had already successfully copied.
To copy only changed files with Robocopy, you have two options, namely using maxage: n or /XO /maxage: n. Some users say that they don't want to create all the subfolders on the target disk if there is no new files in them. In this case, you need to add extra switch /S to exclude the empty folder.
The most basic use of robocopy is using a source and destination directory with no options. This option will copy all files (excluding subfolders) from C:\src to C:\dst.
By default robocopy logs only folders and nonpresent/modified (i.e. copied) files.
New Dir 2 C:\Temp\a\
100% New File 0 bar.txt
100% New File 0 foo.txt
You can suppress the logging of folders with the /ndl switch (in this case the copied files will be listed with their full path).
100% New File 0 C:\Temp\a\bar.txt
100% New File 0 C:\Temp\a\foo.txt
Modify just foo.txt and re-run robocopy a b /ndl and you get
100% Newer 3 C:\Temp\a\foo.txt
Add /njh and /njs to remove header and summary from the output. Add /np to remove progress indication (the percent value at the beginning of the output line). Add /xx to remove indication of extra files (files that exist only in the destination, but not in the source folder):
C:\Temp>robocopy a b /njh /njs /ndl /np
*EXTRA File 0 C:\Temp\b\baz.txt
New File 0 C:\Temp\a\bar.txt
New File 0 C:\Temp\a\foo.txt
C:\Temp>echo "foo" >a\bar.txt
C:\Temp>robocopy a b /njh /njs /ndl /np /l
*EXTRA File 0 C:\Temp\b\baz.txt
Newer 3 C:\Temp\a\bar.txt
C:\Temp>robocopy a b /njh /njs /ndl /np /xx /l
Newer 8 C:\Temp\a\bar.txtIf you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
