I'm cloning a directory with robocopy. My intention is cloning everything, purging extra files in the destination and also overwriting files that are the same according to size and timestamp (/IS option)
My command is
& ROBOCOPY $SourcePath $DestinationPath /MIR /IS /R:2 (I'm using PowerShell)

I don't understand why there are 2 skipped files - also I'm unable to find mention of this issue on the internet.
I'm launching this command in a remote PowerShell session. I'm not sure if it's relevant but this seem to happen especially in the remote session.
- In the detailed output all but two files have status Same and no progress indicator.
- Two files have status Older and the copy progress indication 0%-100%. So it seems only these two have been copied.
This is apparently the opposite of ROBOCOPY report above so I'm a bit confused.
Thank you very much for the help!
