The size of the shared storage space named MNet is 184 Gb and has 205,088 files, 18,850 folders, with over 50 folders and as many subfolders in each folder.

I am using the following command to backup the network file to a 1 Tb usb mapped drive (G:).

XCOPY D:\MNET\*.* G: /S/E/V/C/F/K/Y

The command does not copy ALL of the source data to the backup G:.  It appears that only the first nine folders of MNet and the first nine subfolders are copied to the backup drive G:

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank You

file/folder or path names are too long...
Or you may wanna try breaking up that amount of data...
Good Luck.

Hi

Try using xcopy32 instead of xcopy . The switches are the same.
