How to copy user's appdata folder using robocopy?

I'm trying to backup my current user's AppData folder.

Because the folder is quite big, I wanted to use robocopy.

However, robocopy is having mess with symbolics links.

Especially, in the user folder, there's a symbolic (I guess) link named Application data and that points to Roaming folder.

There's also within the Local folder, another link named 'Application data' that points to local folder. This ends with a recursive infinite loop local\application data\application data\application data and so on, each time copy the whole local folder.

I tried to add the /sl switch to robocopy, without success.

How to properly copy my user folder ?
