I have several scheduled robocopy jobs and have only had problems when I "break" something underneath it.

His reply was a strict "NO". Reasoning was that it's not reliable. He said "I've seen it break". So my question is have you seen it break? Is robocopy any more or less reliable than built in copy? I did point out that robocopy is built in to windows as well at least for Windows7.
