Only in the sense that I followed that link and installed that
version -- yesterday. As soon as I yanked it and reverted back to
2.82.7 the problem was solved. Had to spend a *lot* of time
re-imaging partitions and re-doing backups, however. That beta
version will wipe out any target with commands like I was using. It
simply takes the source drive only, apparently ignoring any directory
argument attached to the source drive, then clones it to the
destination, overwriting the entire drive there.

This girl is exhausted. 

What I got from this command, or any similar command:

xxcopy "M:\2000 Apps\Equis72" "t:\Daily Essential\Equis72" /CLONE/YY /WV0

was this:

A wiped destination (t:). Then the *entire* m: tree was constructed
under t:\Daily Essential\Equis72

This was a nasty, nasty surprise.

Best,

Yuki
