I've found that xcopy (which I've used for years) will fail if the path is too long. I've moved to robocopy on anything more than just basic backups. Options include mirroring, long paths, etc.

Script is : rmdir /S /Q e:\day5 move /y e:\day4 e:\day5 move /y e:\day3 e:\day4 move /y e:\day2 e:\day3 move /y e:\day1 e:\day2 mkdir e:\day1 xcopy o:\ e:\day1\labeltraxx /E /Y /I /Z xcopy p:\reports e:\day1\sage\reports /E /Y /I xcopy q:\ e:\day1\sage\data /E /Y /I xcopy z:\lm e:\day1\lm /E /Y /I date /T > e:\datefile.txt time /T > e:\timefile.txt O, p & q are external shares on other servers whilst z is a local drive The first 3 xcopy commands are not working but the local on is.. So it's something to do with the networked drives that is OK in the foreground.. Any suggestions?
