Xcopy

[philb101]

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

check the attributes of the destination are not set to read only.  If they are you would get an access denied message of some description.

if they are you will need to take the read only setting off.  If you are using windows you can do this through the windows explorer.  If you are using dos you can run something like.....  attrib -r c:\blah

Microsoft(R) Windows DOS

C:\DOCUME~1\******>attrib /?

  -   Clears an attribute.
  R   Read-only file attribute.
  A   Archive file attribute.

You could try copying to an empty folder and seeing which file it barfs on...?

What do you mean by "Secure Folders" - just basic NTFS security?  Have you correctly propagated the permissions through the subfolders?
