I'm having some strange problem where robocopy /mir doesn't actually,
well...mirror. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with short file names.
The files that are causing problems are named:
Short name Long name
OLIVER~1.WPD OLIVER-M.GD2.wpd
OLIVER-M.GRD
OLIVER~3.WPD oliver-m.rec.wpd
OLIVER~2.WPD
Due to the nature of the problem, I'm not sure which files are actually causing
the problem, but I believe it's the last two listed. It seems like there's a
name collision on OLIVER~2.WPD.
I've posted the log below and also at
www.evangel.edu/robocopy.txt<http://www.evangel.edu/robocopy.txt> for better
readability. I've run robocopy /mir 4 times so you can see how it goes back and
forth replacing existing files with new ones.
I can't for the life of me figure out what's going on or more importantly how
to fix it. Any help is appreciated.
