Subject  :  File size limitations - resolved?
Size(KB) :  0


Just wondering if the file size limitation (4GB on NTFS) has been 
resolved yet or if it will be soon. Some of the SQL Server backup 
files that I need to copy daily have just crossed the 4GB size 
barrier and now xxcopy only copies the chunk above (or below - not 
sure) of the file. For example, when my source file is this size:
08/11/2002 03:05a 4,645,379,584 PDI_01_db_200208110302.BAK
xxcopy only copies this:
F:\mssql\backup\PDI_01_db_200208110302.BAK 
350,412,288
Notice that the difference is EXACTLY 4096MB or 4GB.

If xxcopy can't handle these files yet or soon, I'll have to redo my 
daily batch files to use copy or find some other way to get these 
files moved around.

Thanks,
-Norm
