Pasting to boxcryptor I've lost a lot of files

psychok9

Hello,
I had two identical copies of a backup, on two different PCs.
I decided to cut and paste them on boxcryptor X: - onedrive folder, to encrypt, with the onedrive client closed (in order not to change the time stamp and take up more space).
On one of the two systems I use Windows RAID 1 (software).
However, this seems to have caused a large loss of files
on one of the two systems higher than the other (I've never opened onedrive client after the "copy").
Towards the end of the copy, Windows warned me that some files were gone and it can't copy anymore!
In one of the two systems I lost about 30GB of files,
in the other a few GB.
What may have happened!? 🙁

Hello psychok9, I have a similar situation in trying to bulk copy unencrypted files to a Boxcryptor drive. Sorry, no fix (yet).

In my case the backup programs lock up. I have a folder hierarchy of unencrypted content. Sometimes, I need to maintain a local copy of files (e.g., Quicken perceives boxcryptor drive as network and unsupported). I want to use a backup utility to periodically copy these unencrypted files to a protected Boxcryptor location, so at least my backup is encrypted. This seems like a simple matter of specifying my Boxcryptor destination (e.g., X:\SecureData) in my backup client. However, both "Second Copy" and "Xcopy" have had issues. On Win 10 20H2, the backup applications locked (non-responsive, local drive spins). Anyone else find recurring success with bulk copies in Windows 10 to a boxcryptor destination (which can be cloud or NAS)?

jfh2210 - turns out robocopy works well. robocopy "d:\Unencrypted Local Data" "X:\Secure (NAS)\BackupFolder" /e /s /z /IPG:10 /r:10 /w:20
