When you use /clone, it is a shorthand version of a number of
switches based on /Bi. /Bi means to copy files only if the
file is new or the corresponding file in the destination has
a different date/time/size. The exit code 100 means that either
there were no files matching the selection criteria (i.e. there
are no files in "C:\windows\favorites\") or that the identical
files already exist in I:\mirror\.... so there was no need to
copy them.

Your post #5226 indicates that you have previously cloned your
complete c:\windows\ to i:\mirror\allain\cbackup\windows\ so
I assume the latter applies.
