C:\Users\user>robocopy \\source.test.abc.com\cifsshare \\destination.test.abc.com\ifs\corpist01\cifsshare /copyall /r:1 /w:1 /log+:backoutrobo.o

robocopy \\source.test.abc.com\cifsshare \\destination.test.abc.com\cifsshare  /copyall /E /r:0 /w:0 /log+:backoutrobo.out /tee
Robocopy \\source.test.abc.com\cifsshare \\destination.test.abc.com\ifs\corpist01\cifsshare /E /SEC /R:1 /W:1 /LOG:c:\Robocopylog.txt /TEE
C:\Users\user>robocopy \\source.test.abc.com\cifsshare \\destination.test.abc.com\cifsshare  /copyall /E /r:1 /w:0 /log+:backoutrobo.out /tee

Description:

I donít recommend to use /CopyAll paremeter as it will also copy the owner information to the remote computer which will cause problem in the
future if the current owner is Administrator on the current computer or a user who doesnot exist.
I also include log function to save the logs in C:\Robocopy.txt file so that you can check for failures afterwards.
The /R and /W are retry options, I specify the retry times as one and wait time as 1 second so that it wonít be stuck on retrying as the default
 setting for retry times is 1 million

Please make sure the account you use to run the Robocopy command has read and write access to the \\Remote_ComputerName\Share.
