Subject  :  Files keep getting copied when they should not be
Size(KB) :  0


I am trying to use xxcopy to make a backup of my Palm user folder. It 
keeps copying the same files over and over even when they have not 
changed. Here is the command line I am using:

xxcopy.exe "f:\Palm\KjellbT\" "R:\Palm\KjellbT\" /e /BN /OA"BackupLog.
txt"

When I use Robocopy, it does not copy the files (which is correct).

I notice both of these in the xxcopy help file:

----- The following switches are useful for backup and archive -----
/BN Backs up newer files only (includes brand new files).

----- Environment variables that affect XXCOPY-----
Summary XXCOPY switches that check two directories:
/BN all files in A plus files in B that have newer filetime

I am trying to use the first. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Tait
