XCOPY question`

[dlscott56]

I've searched for an answer to this but haven't come across it. I apologize in advance if I just missed it.

I'm using the following to copy files from the local hard drive to a USB drive:

XCOPY c:\Database_Backup\*.* E:\Database_Backup\*.* /D /S /Y

It will copy several .bat files that are in that directory but then errors out when it gets to the first .bak file I have with:

File creation error - The parameter is incorrect.

I tried several of the variations to this that I found in this forum but get the same error. The interesting thing to me is that I use the exact same batch file command to copy files from a mapped drive to the local drive and all works correctly.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Sorry, I think I found the problem. When copying the file through windows I get an error that tells me the file is too large for the destination drive. I has plenty of room on it so I must have a different problem not related to the DOS command.
