Subject  :  XXCOPY in a Netware Mapped drive
Size(KB) :  1


Hi, 
I must say that xxcopy is really a great tool instead,but I have a 
problem here when I tried on several Windows 2000 (w2k) machines with 
the same results.

Probelm 
------- 

I have a W2K Advance Server with SP1 and a mapped drive (G:) to a 
Netware 4.11 server. 

I did a simple xxcopy or xxcopy with clone switch like below 

xxcopy G:\netware c:\netware or xxcopy G:\netware c:\netware /CLONE 

The end result is that the whole structure under G: goes to c: as 
espected. I later did add some files under c:\netware, then ran

xxcopy G:\netware c:\netware /CLONE 

the additional files get deleted as expected in the c:\netware. Good. 

The problem I have is that all the file date and time being copied 
over (sync) to c:\netware don't get preserved. All the copied files 
were updated with the latest (local/current) date. Therefore, when I 
ran the command with the switch /CLONE, it will just make another 
whole copy and updated with the new dates & times.

I also did the following trial. 

I ran a test run under the local dir, i.e. D:\test to C:\test, with 
no problem, it will skip all the same files, everything just work out 
perfectly.

I also ran the noraml xcopy from G:\netware to C:\netware drive, 
guess what, the date and time were preserved !!! Similiarly, a simple 
XXCOPY from G:\netware to C:\netware without any switch also fail.

I have read XXCOPY TECHNICAL BULLETIN #21 
(http://www.datman.com/xxcopy/xxcopy21.htm) and tired all the 
switches there but ot no avail.

I just can;t figure out what went wrong. Appreciate if you can 
enlight me. Tx. 

Regards, 
Max
