refining that robocopy post

remember robocopy doesn't like spaces in directory names, so tildes are important (on a Finnish keyboard, bizzarely, it's Alt-gr and umlaut (¨)) - so that means "my music" becomes mymusi~1.

Using /log+: really does speed things up, though it's not too shabby anyway.

So I ended up with

robocopy source dest /w:1 /r:0 /mir /log+:robocopy.log and it got on with it, maxing out USB2 speeds on the external and the same (25MB/s) on the internal.
