xcopy

[Guest Meinolf Weber]

Hello Richard,

 

The /C states "Continues copying even if errors occur." So it seems to be

ok. Do you have any error during copying or does it stop, how do you realize

it?

 

Best regards

You should add some logging so that you can see what's going on:

xcopy \\server\data \\mycomputer\Backup\Data /D /C /E /H /Y 1> c:\copy.log

2>&1

Hi Meinolf

 

Thanks for taking time to reply. I tried it again and it was working. Not

sure, but when I checked the folders, it wasn't backed up to the current

date.

 

Maybe I should try to log it and see what happens.

 

Thanks again

RIchard

Re: xcopy

 

Console commands generate two types of output:

- Standard output

- Error output

They can be captured like so:

xcopy . . . . 1>c:\standard.txt

xcopy . . . . 2>c:\error.txt

 

If you want both outputs in a single file then you can use

this syntax:

xcopy . . . 1>c:\output.txt 2>&1

 

Note that backing up data without occasionally checking

the command output greatly reduces the dependability of the

backup process. You might, for example, use a Command

Line mailer to send the command output automatically to

yourself, e.g. once every 8 days.

xcopy

 

Hi

 

I am using xcopy to backup my data, it seems that the data has not beed

updating.. could be due to permission issues... I think it stops when it

encounters issues.

 

How do I add switches to enable it to continue / skip errors when copying

data. I am now using,

 

xcopy \\server\data \\mycomputer\Backup\Data /D /C /E /H /Y

 

Help appreciated. Many thanks in advance

 

Richard
