Xcopy, insufficient space

[walter4991]

Hello everyone, I made ​​a script that I make a backup of my pen drive but when I start up after a while gives me the error: "insufficient space"... I read that this depends on the Length of paths and file names ... How can I do?

Here's the code:

Code: Select all

xcopy *.* "%userprofile%\Desktop\Backup Pen Drive" /e /i /y /h /r

I also tried adding the "/ n ", but nothing has changed ...

Thanks, Walter.

No idea. Doesn't sound like too long names but like too much data. Maybe it could help to append the /j option.

What is /j ? in the help of the xcopy command is not present...

Oh, I didn't realized that. It's in my help on Windows 7 but I cannot remember that I found it on XP
On the Micrsoft web sites I found the following:

Code: Select all

/j    Copies files without buffering. Recommended for very large files. This parameter was added introduced in Windows Server® 2008 R2.

So, sorry but I have no further idea.

You did not need to ask that.
CMD.EXE gives you the answer when you enter
XCOPY /?

Do you have CMD.EXE, or are you using Windows 98 or earlier, perhaps even DOS 3.2 ?
