Size(KB) :  1


Well, after sending this email, I tried to rule out some other factors like=
the drive format, the .bat file, and copying over the network, so I tried =
running this at the DOS prompt:

xxcopy C:\Drivers\*.* C:\Temp\ /ks /h /e /r /q /y /bi

I got the same result. After running it 4 times in a row, xxcopy wanted to=
copy the entire "Drivers" folder, rather then the incremental changes afte=
r the first copy. Xcopy, worked fine. I also tried /bu, /bn, and /bi but =
every time, all of my files are copied rather then just the ones that have =
changed. Any thoughts?=20=20

I'm trying to run a backup from my work PC to my home PC using the latest f=
reeware xxcopy.=A0 The command looks like this...

xxcopy "\\aspnes-dsk\E\mine\*.*" "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Docume=
nts\mine\" /ks /h /e /r /q /y /bi

I've also tried /bu, /bn, and /bi but every time, all of my files are copie=
d rather then just the ones that have changed (even if I try it 2-3 times i=
n a row).=A0 If I use xcopy instead of xxcopy, only the new ones are copied=
.=A0 I'm placing the command above in a .bat file and double clicking the .=
bat file when I run it.=A0 I only want to copy the new and updated files, n=
ot all of them.=A0 What am I doing wrong?

This is an easy one to asnwer.

Just add the /FF switch because your problem is likely caused by the mismat=
ch in the timestamp granularity between the source volume and the destinati=
on.=A0 My guess is that the

=A0=A0 src =3D NTFS
=A0=A0 dst =3D FAT32
