Hi,

I installed 2.83.4 over the previous recent version today.

Then I ran a normal backup. The first command on the set:

ECHO OFF

xxcopy m:\2000ap~1\equis72 "t:\Daily Essential\equis72" /CLONE/YY /WV0

I knew something was wrong pretty quickly, as the external USB drive
(t:) started writing like crazy, but the DOS window in XP was just
sitting there not giving me any output.

So I slammed it shut as fast as I could.

Too late. Drive t: was wiped. 120GB drive, and xxcopy was busy
cloning my entire m: drive to it. This is NOT the command, and no
other command was run except what you see above.

This has NEVER happened before. Obviously, if it happens again,
xxcopy and I are through. I used to think this was a fantastic
program. I am not so sure now. I am in a terrible position now,
needing to redo a tremendous number of partition images, some with
incremental backups that CANNOT be duplicated.

Any ideas why xxcopy went xxcrazy?

Best,

Yuku
