Hi everyone,

I'm using Robocopy to back up my Dragon Ball Blu-ray ISO rips (full 1:1 copies) onto a Western Digital HDD (Gold Enterprise).My priority is data integrity and reliability over speed.

These are the Robocopy parameters I'm currently using:

robocopy /COPY:DAT /DCOPY:T /ZB /J /R:3 /W:5

/COPY:DAT (copies data, attributes, timestamps)

/DCOPY:T (preserves directory timestamps)

/ZB (restartable mode with backup privileges if needed)

/J (copies using unbuffered I/O for large files)

/R:3 /W:5 (retries 3 times, waits 5 seconds between retries)

Do these parameters look suitable and reliable enough for ensuring integrity during transfer, especially for large ISO files?

Any suggestions or additional flags recommended for preserving long-term data integrity on cold storage disks?

Thanks in advance!
