Value Description
0 No files were copied. No failure was encountered. No files were mismatched. The files already exist in the destination directory; therefore, the copy operation was skipped.
1 All files were copied successfully.
2 There are some additional files in the destination directory that are not present in the source directory. No files were copied.
3 Some files were copied. Additional files were present. No failure was encountered.
5 Some files were copied. Some files were mismatched. No failure was encountered.
6 Additional files and mismatched files exist. No files were copied and no failures were encountered. This means that the files already exist in the destination directory.
7 Files were copied, a file mismatch was present, and additional files were present.
8 Several files did not copy.

 Robocopy is a great tool, but I came across an issue with it when using it within MS SQL Agent Job.
-The SQL Agent Job wants to know the exit status of the command that is run.  This is quite common, and most command line applications return 0 (zero) upon successful completion of the command. This is not the case with Robocopy. Robocopy returns a bitmask value greater than 0 upon a successful copy. You can confirm this by running robocopy and then:

 You can get around this by appending a logical and to the returned exit code like this:

   EXIT /B %ERRLVL%
 This causes all exit codes below 8 to return a value of 0, and exit codes 8 or above (indicating an error) return the corresponding exit code.
