Pause and resume robocopy

Question

How can I pause and resume a robocopy task. I am moving a lot of files between servers and was hoping to do the move over two days but do not know whether it is possible to pause and then resume the task once reconnected to the network?

So once your robocopy task has started, how to pause and then resume it?

Answer 1

The [Pause] key does pause the copying of the files as mentioned. But I found that using the [Pause] key again did not continue the copy. However pressing [Enter/Return] key did resume the copying.

Answer 2

Sure, I was in the same situation... it´s magic.. just hit the "Pause" key @ the keyboard.. and see the task manager, the network output....

Enjoy...
