Robocopy ERROR 6000 (0x00001770) for encrypted files with /EFSRAW

Question

My problem is that I want to create a backup of a folder with several files and I realized that some of them are encrypted by a user, so I decided to investigate and found that adding / EFSRAW could copy those encrypted files, but the problem that when I run it , It only copies two encrypted files and the others not showing me the following error:

I have been trying in different ways so that it manages to copy those missing encrypted files but so far I have not been able, I really hope and you can help me :(

Attached code used

net use \RDP\IPC$ /user:********* *******
robocopy C:\TESLA \RDP\BACKUP\NAME_%date:~-4,4%-%date:~-7,2%-%date:~-10,2%-%time:~0,2%-%time:~3,2%-%time:~6,2% /COPYALL /B /EFSRAW /E /r:2 /w:2 /LOG:%userprofile%\Documents\Logs_Backup\log_%date:~-4,4%-%date:~-7,2%-%date:~-10,2%-%time:~0,2%-%time:~3,2%-%time:~6,2%.txt /NDL /NFL

Hello @Miguel Angel Vara Martinez ,

Thanks for your query.

Is it working if you encrypt the target folder first?
