Hi Peter
Why is this database helpfile not accessable ???
Is the system and the DB application running ??
Aren't you starting from floppy or Maintenenace Partition for
your XCOPY ?

I do start my system from the Maintenance System (D:) and do an
"hotserved" XCOPY from my primary C: partition to an external
SCSI disk
and afterwards I am starting my system from SCSI and the just
created SCSI disk ;-))

If a file is not accessable means the application is running !
Copying i.e a my current system partition like above means that I
have to boot
from either floppy or from a Maintenence Partition having access
to the source !

I am still unable to agree with you !?
Could you explain better how and what you are doing, please ?

Have a nice Sunday
svobi

Hi Svobi,

XCOPY does *not* handle all files.

For example,

[M:\]xcopy G:\OS2\HELP\deter___.DB /h/o/t/s/e/r/v
Source files are being read...
SYS1186: XCOPY cannot access the source file.
G:\OS2\HELP\deter___.DB
0 file(s) copied.
[M:\]

There are other files which XCOPY won't copy.

I use XCOMP (on Hobbes) to compare my backup directory trees.
Using
XCOMP, I find that if I "mirror" using XCOPY then I have several
files
(always the same ones) which haven't been copied. dSync, however,
copies *all* files.
