| `/XD` | Specifies directories to be excluded. When running Robocopy on the root of a volume, consider excluding the hidden `System Volume Information` folder. If used as designed, all information in there is specific to the exact volume on this exact system and can be rebuilt on-demand. Copying this information won't be helpful in the cloud or when the data is ever copied back to another Windows volume. Leaving this content behind is not data loss. |

| `/L` | **Only for a test run** </br> Files are to be listed only. They won't be copied, not deleted, and not time stamped. Often used with `/TEE` for console output. Flags from the sample script, like `/NP`, `/NFL`, and `/NDL`, might need to be removed to achieve you properly documented test results. |

| `/LFSM` | **Only for targets with tiered storage** </br>Specifies that Robocopy operates in "low free space mode." This switch is useful only for targets with tiered storage that might run out of local capacity before Robocopy finishes. It was added specifically for use with a target enabled for Azure File Sync cloud tiering. It can be used independently of Azure File Sync. In this mode, Robocopy will pause whenever a file copy would cause the destination volume's free space to go below a "floor" value. This value can be specified by the `/LFSM:n` form of the flag. The parameter `n` is specified in base 2: `nKB`, `nMB`, or `nGB`. If `/LFSM` is specified with no explicit floor value, the floor is set to 10 percent of the destination volume's size. Low free space mode isn't compatible with `/MT`, `/EFSRAW`, `/B`, or `/ZB`. |
