Guest Meinolf Weber Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 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?

Guest Richard Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Re: xcopy 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.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 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.

Guest Richard Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 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
