Hi Team,
I am using robocopy to copy one large file from laptop to server , I have used /LOG+ option and /Z option . To see the pecentage of copy completed , is it safe to open log file , while copy is in progress. Is it fine to take copy of log
and then open it see the percentage of completion.
Good day,
You probably better ask the question in the Windows Server forum. I found many questions there regarding robocopy. In any case this question fit to be ask in the OS forum since the way the file is locked or not is managed by the OS file system.

With that being said, robocopy log is a simple text file and my guessing is that:
> is it safe to open log file
Yes, since text file are not locked usually
> Is it fine to take copy of log and then open it
Same as above
I recommend to test it if you can in a test environment
