The error

ROBOCOPY     ::     Robust File Copy for Windows     ::     Version XP010
Started : Fri Jun 02 15:31:17 2017
Source - C:\Documents and Settings\Administrador\Configuracion local\Temp\soporte.cl\backup\
Dest - \\10.8.0.1\ti\test\
Files : *.*
Options : *.* /COPY:DAT /R:1000000 /W:30
**ERROR : Invalid Parameter #5 : "/DCOPY:T"**
Simple Usage :: ROBOCOPY source destination /MIR
source :: Source Directory (drive:\path or \\server\share\path).
destination :: Destination Dir  (drive:\path or \\server\share\path).
/MIR :: Mirror a complete directory tree.
For more usage information run ROBOCOPY /? or read Robocopy.Doc.
NOTE: Read "True Replication" in Robocopy.Doc prior to first use of /MIR !
****  /MIR can DELETE files as well as copy them !

Seems the option is missing in this robocopy version, looking the code from CopyOptions.cs robosharp:

...
private string directoryCopyFlags = VersionManager.Version >= 6.2 ? "DA" : "T";
...

Using another SO like win7 or upper works

This is the help output from robocopy Windows RKT
