We use RoboCopy with an add-on utility called RoboCopyPlus (www.robocopyplus.com). It wraps around RoboCopy and not only analyzes the result, based on exit code, but also compresses the logfiles to see only exceptions, and then emails them off to us depending on the result, with the compressed logfiles attached.

Plus, it generates eeventlogentries based on the copy-job result, so you can integrate the lot into a management system.

Makes the whole thing a LOT easier for us to manage and therefore much more useful and stable.
