New XCOPY fundimentally flawed?
It appears that entire sub-folders are skipped if one bad file is found in a folder. It doesn't just skip the bad file, but writes off the entire folder (if not already copied before error). Something is rotten...

New Probably not xcopy, but the Windows 'attitude' top copying.
You've undoubtedly already encountered it whilst using Explorer to copy files. One error and *bam!* everything stops.

That said, the [link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xcopy|Wikipedia page on XCopy] suggests using [link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocopy|Robocopy]. It's in the Windows 2003 Resource Kit, downloadable [link|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&displaylang=en|here].

Wade.

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

             I see a "/c" option, but no logging what's skipped... - (tablizer) - (16) - June 18, 2007, 01:55:45 PM EDT
                 Yes, /c is it. - (Andrew Grygus) - (15) - June 18, 2007, 02:15:47 PM EDT

                             Arrrg, errors are not redirected - (tablizer) - (12) - June 18, 2007, 08:03:18 PM EDT
                                 Try redirecting to the same file. - (folkert) - (2) - June 18, 2007, 08:26:21 PM EDT
                                     That gives me a "sharing violation" -NT - (tablizer) - (1) - June 19, 2007, 11:12:49 AM EDT

The feeling is there, but you have a long way to go to CRC's level.
