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.
