Hi,

you may also want to have a look at the robocopy command , you can get it
free on microsoft or from a resource package.
It has MANY nice feature, including retries, mirror mode,log file,...

I'm rewriting a routine in VFP8 (XP Pro) to back up about 4,000 small
files, averaqing about 5k each, from about 5 folders from the hard
disk to a USB mini hard drive. I'm considering two approaches:

1. Using XXCopy.exe with the RUN command or ShellExedute.

2. Using only the built-in COPY FILE command.

I have a feeling XXCopy would be faster, but I haven't tested it.
Could someone confirm that? Or is it an "it depends" situation in
which case I'll go ahead and test it.

Thanks for any help.

Steve M.
