Robocopy Exit Codes: 0 and 1 usually mean success
Posted by jpluimers on 2012/10/08
Most console applications return 0 (zero) as success.
But sometimes there are multiple success result codes, and the success depends on what you want to do with them.
One example is RoboCopy.
The zero result code means that nothing happened: no error occurred and nothing was copied, because there was no need to.
But for most RoboCopy scenario’s result code 1 (one) is also success. It means that no error occurred and that one ore more files were copied.
In fact the RoboCopy result codes form a bitmap explained on ss64.com.
Most RoboCopy use cases will have [0,1] as the set off success result codes.

Making RoboCopy silent (via: backup – How can I make robocopy silent in the command line except for progress? – Stack Overflow)
Posted by jpluimers on 2012/09/14
A while ago, I got a question from a colleague on how to silence RoboCopy.
The RoboCopy /? help is a bit awkward to read, so there is this nice SO answer by Ruben Koene:
So together with previous answer you get the following and it’s silent:
ROBOCOPY [target] /njh /njs /ndl /nc /ns /np /nfl
And there is the FIND way where I marked the relevant options with an asterisk (*):
C:\Users\jeroenp>robocopy /? | find /i "No"
/S :: copy Subdirectories, but not empty ones.
/NOCOPY :: COPY NO file info (useful with /PURGE).
/PURGE :: delete dest files/dirs that no longer exist in source.
/PF :: check run hours on a Per File (not per pass) basis.
n must be at least 1 and not greater than 128.
/XJ :: eXclude Junction points. (normally included by default).
/X :: report all eXtra files, not just those selected.
* /NS :: No Size - don't log file sizes.
* /NC :: No Class - don't log file classes.
* /NFL :: No File List - don't log file names.
* /NDL :: No Directory List - don't log directory names.
* /NP :: No Progress - don't display percentage copied.
* /NJH :: No Job Header.
* /NJS :: No Job Summary.
/NOSD :: NO Source Directory is specified.
/NODD :: NO Destination Directory is specified.
