Subject  :  XXCOPY using /CLONE not copying files >4.1GB
Size(KB) :  1


I had an unusual problem the other day trying to backup one 120GB
drive to another. Both drives are connected on my Win2K Pro box using
external firewire enclosures. Out of 117GB in used space (41 files
total), only 26GB was copied, and the files that were only partially
copied are all greater than 4.1GB. Both drives are NTFS. What's even
stranger is that for those files > 4.1GB it didn't copy the same
amount. XXCOPY did NOT report any errors during the copying -- it said
it was successful.

File#1 - sfc2000.avi
Actual: 22,845,112,320
Copied: 1,370,275,840

File #2 - sfc2000.m2v
Actual: 4,138,339,663
Copied: same

File #3 - sfc2000-dvd-t4-day3.avi
Actual: 11,804,213,248
Copied: 3,214,278,656

File #4 - sfc2k-1.avi
Actual: 27,930,705,920
Copied: 2,160,902,144

File #5 - sfc2k-2.avi
Actual: 10,598,858,752
Copied: 2,008,924,160

File #6 - sfc2k-3.avi
Actual: 26,072,834,048
Copied: 303,030,272 (yes -- less than 1G got copied)

File#2 is the next largest file before file #5 so I'm including it as
part of my statement that it appears to be files >4.1G that aren't
being copied.

I tried the /CLONE operation twice and got the same results both
times. I ended up using Windows Explorer to copy the ones XXCOPY
didn't do correctly.

Is there a file size limit in XXCOPY's /CLONE command?
