adb pull 失败，参数无效

Question

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro with SD inserted sd card.

adb pull /sdcard C:\Redmi

fails with

adb: error: failed to create directory 'C:\Redmi\MIUI\debug_log\common\com.xiaomi.finddevice\process-com.xiaomi.finddevice:securitypush\': Invalid argument

I believe it's because a folder with : cannot be created.

How to skip the directory to be copied or how to fix the error?

Answer 1

You can use

adb exec-out tar chf - -C /sdcard . > file.tar

and then extract the tar avoiding errors (you can specify what to extract from tar).

Or use linux or WSL to run adb pull .
