Problem : Robocopy Error: Invalid Parameter #3
I am trying to run ROBOCOPY on a Windows 2000 server to copy files from one server to another for backup purposes.
Here is my command string:
c:\ntreskit\robocopy d:\Consumer Returns \\cbentsvr3\ntwkbkup\consu
When I submit the job I receive the following error:

ROBOCOPY v1.96: Robust File Copy for Windows NT

Started: Wed June 06 11:46:22 2007
ERROR: Invalid Parameter #3: “\cbentsvr3\ntwkbkup\consu
Simple Usage :: ROBOCOPY source destination /MIR
source :: Source Directory (drive:\path or \\server\share\path).
destination :: Destination Dir (drive:\path or \\server\share\path).
/MIR :: Mirror a complete directory tree.
For more usage information run ROBOCOPY /? or read Robocopy.Doc.
NOTE: Read “True Replication” in Robocopy.Doc prior to first use of /MIR !
**** /MIR can DELETE files as well as copy them !
I have checked the path from the source server to the destination server to ensure that it was correct.
Solution : Robocopy Error: Invalid Parameter #3
Also, typically you need to put spaces in between switches so your command should really look like this:
c:\ntreskit\robocopy “d:\Consumer Returns” “\\cbentsvr3\ntwkbkup\cons
