when robocopy copies files from a NTFS filesystem to a NTFS filesystem are all the ADS streams for each file also copied?

    IIRC it does. The default settings for copying files is DA which is the data and the attributes. The attribute indicator is how ADS gets copied. But you can always verify that this is true by verifying the ADS of the files, if any, are on the target drive as well.
