Not sure what your question is, the command-line seems ok and you can't stop those files from appearing 🙂

    Hi Harm_Veenstra,

    thank you for replying. I finally found the reason why temporary files appeared.
    In Robocopy command , I initially put "/a-:sh" as argument. So it was wrong.

    I decided delete all backuped files and did it again with command "C:\Folder_A D:\Folder_B /mir /r:0 /w:0".

    Now all is alrignt. No temporary files got copied.

    Best regards,

    Math
