title: robocopy /copyall but not empty folders (/e)
body: <p>I'm looking to modify a robocopy script that is taking way too long to complete. The directory it is copying has thousand's of empty folders, which I'm told i cannot get rid of.</p>
  
  <p>robocopy script switches are this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>robocopy /copyall /sec /mir /r:1 /w:1 /mt:24
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The log file produces this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>robocopy /S /E /COPY:DATS /PURGE /MIR /MT:24 /R:1 /W:1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I think it will improve the time it takes to backup this directory if T can remove the /e switch. I assume this comes from <code>/copyall</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Question is how can I still use <code>/copyall</code> but remove the <code>/e</code>? Is it as simple as manually adding the below switches, and removing <code>/e</code>? Or is there a better way? </p>
  
  <pre><code>/S /COPY:DATS /PURGE /MIR /MT:24 /R:1 /W:1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Below are the results from yesterday. Going from a file/print server to a NAS box across a 10GB link.
