Robocopy /SILENT – Quiet & Efficient File Transfers
The /SILENT
flag in Robocopy hides all non-error output, making file transfers clean and distraction-free. Unlike default mode (which shows every copied file), this option only displays critical errors, perfect for automated backups or scripts. Combine it with /LOG:file.txt
to still capture details silently.
Example:
cmd
robocopy C:\Source D:\Backup /E /SILENT /LOG:C:\copy_log.txt
Ideal for: Scheduled tasks, background transfers, or minimal console clutter. 🚀
