Subject: [xxcopy] Cloning problem


I'm a great user of XXcopy but recently came across a problem when using
the Clone switch, when backing up my boot drive to a spare partition. Fil=
es
are copied OK the first time, but I immediately run my batch file a secon=
d
time just to be sure. This always shows that 2 files have been copied, no
matter how many more times I run the backup! When running XXcopy twice
or more, I expect it to show no files have been copied, with exit code 10=
0!

Can anyone explain why & how to prevent this? I tried using the /FF switc=
h
with no success.

The 2 copied files are always the same ones - 'System.dat' & the desktop
shortcut of my batch file, 'HDC'. This is the output filelist 'copied.txt=
'
using the /Fo switch:-

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.DAT -> G:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.DAT
C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\HDC.pif -> G:\WINDOWS\Desktop\HDC.pif

This is the output log file 'cloned.txt', using the /oN switch, & shows t=
he
command line I use:-

XXCOPY ver 2.85.1
Command Line =3D C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\XXCOPY.EXE C:\ G:\ /clone
/EXmyexc1.lst /pb /Q3 /ILSwin98 /ILDwinBU /oNG:\cloned.txt /foG:\copied.t=
