Windows 10 - Robocopy chokes on a directory called “Recovery”?
Trying to use Robocopy with the MIR switch to copy the entire contents of one disk (not networked) to a directory on another (also not networked).
The source disk is E:.
The target disk/directory is F:20190113T135300
When the process gets to E:Recovery Robocopy enters a loop of saying :
Error 5 (0x0000005) Accessing Destination Directory F:20190113T135300Recovery Access is Denied
Waiting 30 seconds
I have two questions I suppose.
First when I look at the amount of left on F: it's as if no copies at all have taken place but the copy has been running for eight hours and the names of files have been scrolling up the screen. If I look for the target directory it's not visible in a new explorer windows but I have previously opened explorer windows which show the copied content as it was when I last checked (three hours ago).
Second I am running on an Administrator account which is not the Administrator account. When I look through Explorer for E:Recovery I can find no sign of that directory . When I run a CMD "As Administrator" I still can't see it . How can I see E:Recovery ? I am assuming E:Recover has been created by Windows - is that so ?
Having read Robocopy permission denied I'm tempted to restart with the /B flag but as I can't even see the E:Recovery directory I'm wondering what else I can't see that might trip me over during the restarted process
What I've done so far
In an attempt to get things back on Track I gave "Full Control" to all "Authorised Users" . That hasn't made any difference to ROBOCOPY saying that access is denied.
I've also looked at these answers : Access denied error with robocopy as admin , Robocopy permission denied .
EDIT 1 : I don't explicitly wish to copy E:Recovery - I just want to copy everything on the E drive. Until I hit this problem I was unaware the E:Recovery directory existed.

recovery is a protected partition. Why are you trying to copy files off of it?
