Xcopy & RAID

We have a customer using a Thecus N4100 RAID1 backup device
I have created a User Folder for all Users & 3 Secure Folders with access only for Individual User & Support
I have configure an Xcopy Batch file to save documents each night but although I am allowed to access the secure folders an "access is denied" message mid copy of each of the secure folders

Any ideas why it aborts mid-copy of Secure Folders (I could understand more if it didn't copy at all)

Thanks for any help

 

Xcopy has issues with folders containing a large number of files, or any sophistication in folder depth. It also has issues if it is replacing files that already exist, or are in use, a condition that may effect your backup routine.

• Use Robocopy instead. It is much more flexible and much more robust, including special provisions for network copies. http://www.ss64.com/nt/robocopy.html
• Check your network configuration for opportunistic locking settings on both client and server. It sounds like you might have a settings issue in this area of client-server file communication. See, for example, 812937 - File Lock or Access Denied Error Message When You Save Files Over the Network

Thanks for that Bill, sounds interesting, will investigate further
