I am trying robocopy for the first time. I am trying a simple test of mirroring a single folder in My Documents to a newly-created folder (also in My Documents). Here's my syntax: robocopy “D:\My Documents\Recipes” “D:\My Documents\Robocopy” /E /MIR /XA:H /R:10 /W:10. When I try to run this I get an error message  "Invalid Parameter #3". I have also tried placing the destination folder on the desktop, but I get the same parameter error.

    Well, nobody answered this question, but I ended up trying SyncToy instead and it has worked perfectly for my needs.
