  I'm trying to create a simple incremental backup system for users on our network using robocopy. I wrote and tested the batch file on a windows xp machine and it worked great, but on the first 7 machine I tried it on the program hung and kind of looped I think. It kept trying to upload the same files ( a very small portion of the backup ). I didn't think there would be any difference between the switches in XP than 7 but maybe I am wrong. 

  The XP file

  @echo off
  robocopy "C:\Documents and Settings\*localuser*\My Documents" "\\server\sharefolder\My Documents" /e /z /XO /XA:SHT /r:10 /w:1 >> "\\server\sharefolder\backuplogdocs.txt"
  robocopy "C:\Documents and Settings\*localuser*\Desktop" "\\server\sharefolder\Desktop" /e /z /XO /XA:SHT /r:10 /w:1 >> "\\server\sharefolder\backuplogdt.txt"

  I made very small changes to the version I used on the 7 file

  @echo off
  robocopy "C:\Users\*localuser*" "\\server\sharefolder" /e /z /XO /XA:SHT /r:10 /w:1 >> "\\server\sharefolder\log.txt"

  Any ideas as to what made the batch hang/loop?
