Robocopy: Windows 2003 >>> Windows 2012

Question

I'm using Robocopy to copy/mirror a large folder from a Windows 2003 server to a Windows 2012 server in preparation for moving users off the old server to the new server.

Currently, my command is : robocopy \\source\\folder E: /MIR /FFT /B /XA:H /R:1 /W:5 /log+:C:\\mirror-log

I'm running the robocopy command as a Scheduled Task on the Windows 2012 server. When I created the task, I was given the option of Configure for: "Windows Server 2012 R2" or "Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2" or "Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008". I set it to "Windows Server 2012 R2" but does it make a difference?

Also, do I need /MIR and /B? I copied the command from a someone's post and that part wasn't explained very well. The documentation I looked at didn't cover it either.

And I ran into a problem when a user added folders/files to the destination server and the /MIR wiped them out. To avoid that, I should add "/XD \\source\\folder\\sub-folder" so the sub-folder on the destination is left alone, correct? Even if the sub-folder does NOT exist on the source?

Thanks in advance.
