How to display percentage complete in Robocopy?

Question

Is there a way to show the percentage completed in Robocopy? I am running with /NDL and /NFL, but I would like to see the overall percentage... is this possible?

Answer 1

I haven't found a way to do so. Instead I use PowerShell to do the copy and track progress.

This might be of use: Custom RoboCopy Progress Bar in PowerShell

Answer 2

For others who come here from Google and don't normally read the comments, @barlop posted correctly:

I haven't tried yet with /ndl and /nfl but it's worth noting that robocopy does give a percentage by default e.g. robocopy . .\a blah.big (that's how to transfer an individual file http://serverfault.com/questions/52983/robocopy-transfer-file-and-not-folder ) and there switch to turn progress bar off says progress bar is default /np Specifies that the progress of the copying operation (the number of files or directories copied so far) will not be displayed. But I guess maybe you lose the progess bar with those switches you used

the default behavior of robocopy is to include percentages. Use /np to not include progress.
