Robocopy hangs when you try to copy a file which in use
Hello
I find that Robocopy hangs when you try to copy the file using, for example an Outlook .pst file. The behavior of Vista was not to copy the file according to the retry and wait switches from command line, which allowed the backup race move to the next file and finally finish. With Windows 7 the Robocopy session is suspended and resumes ever, even if the file she is trying to copy is closed.
Is this behavior under Robocopy in Windows 7? Is it possible to get Robocopy to move to the file according to when he's trying to copy a file that is in use?
Thank you
Jason.
"There is no need of me a pause in my script"-Yes, I understand [and should have done before].
I just tested a network for the first time operation. It hangs forever as your done even after I closed Outlook & waited for the w: 30 I put. {I also ran with closed Outlook the first time just to make sure that the network itself had no problems}
I read that you have provided the link. This suggests that there is no solution.

You seem to be doing a lot more & probably more structured than mine operation, this workaround might not be of any use to you. The other open files issue concerns a simple hourly backup of my kernel files that includes pst files.
1 I xcopy all the files in a folder internal InterimBackup first. Can I use XCopy or RoboCopy to send InterimBackup to the real destination.
2 If Outlook is open then it will copy on InterimBackup and, if the previous Outlook.pst is still in InterimBackup she gets deleted by the attempt of xcopy. [conclusion - XCopy verifies the existence of the replacement of a file, deletes it and only then discovered that the source file is locked and cannot be copied.]
So I precede this with
0 I run [if exists] copy D:\InterimBackup\Outlook.pst to D:\InterimBackup\Outlook2.pst
The result is that whole process always ends but it only includes the last Outlook.pst that was available. So I always make a point of Outlook to quit at some point during the day so that he could take part in this backup.
If you have also tried this as a two part operation, your xcopy / robocopy in the folder InterimBackup would always succeed but would include only Outlook.pst if you had first closed the application. Subsequent operation of RoboCopy would always succeed with the same possible omission.
The downside of this might not suit your overall goal. You'd have to RoboCopy separately all your others folder trees but keep the Outlook.pst in a tree that has not been included. You could do this either by restructuring of your data or using RoboCopy exclude switches for the file Outlook.pst file.
You have to accept that you might not be sure about the last time that the Outlook file had been included unless you had deliberately run the RoboCopy closing.
I have reviewed this improvement by using Task Scheduler to respond in the event of closing Outlook and use it to initiate the copy outlook.pst to InterimBackup, then by running the part of the main operation on RoboCopy to this folder. But my needs are so simple that I've never felt it's the logs of the events that I would have to put in place.
As I say, it may not meet your needs.

When you try to copy a file 'trust' in Vista, get the message 'Copy as administrator'
I have a computer with Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit), in which I am an administrator on the computer. I have a file that is "safe" and requires administrator permission to open. Since I am an administrator, I was able to open the file. But when I tried to cut or copy the file, a message appears that I need administrator permissions to open it! Similarly, some programs that create other files (images, for example) must be open as follows so that you can actually save a picture: right click > run as administrator . If you do not open the program in this way, access is denied when you try to save a picture. But back to my account. Like programs, is it possible that I can 'copy as administrator' or 'cut as administrator'?
I discovered how to copy and paste files using a single command line. Unfortunately, you can't copy the files, not folders. Here's how to copy a file:
1. Open command prompt
2. type "copy" without the "sign, while simple letters
3. press the SPACEBAR once
4 type the location of the file you want to copy (for example: C:\Users\default_user\file.txt)
5. press the space bar once more
6. type in the destination that you want to copy the file (for example: Folder\destination C:\New folder)
7. press enter and your file should be copied. -

Hello
Thanks for the reply Thahaseena. I think a lot of people have the same problem and it's partially the fault of Microsoft. It is the solution of the problem that works for most people if the heart of the problem is corrupt USB driver (s). The USB driver might get damaged due to defective USB device. This was my case. I bought the 16 GB Sandisk USB which has serious problems. It seems that it is real default, rather than fake. However, I am still investigating.
This is what happens:
-Start the copy of the file and at one point gets stuck. After all, you get that infamous error 0 x 80070079. If you try to shoot this defective USB before the error pops out, it's really dangerous abduction of USB that could cause corruption of the driver for the USB controller. This happened to me. So, after this point, none of the USB devices will be capable of the greatest copy files 1 GB +, because my USB drivers are now corrupt and and the transfer is slower. Fast devices and more small files work great, but if you have low speed USB 2.0 device it will not be able to complete the transfer of files at one time and you will receive the error.
Solution:
-Stop using the defective device to avoid a repetition of the problem (if you know who is defective). If you do not know, must be eliminated one by one.
-Disconnect all USB cables except the keyboard cable (at least that is not based USB)
-Use tabs and the arrows on the keyboard to get to Device Manager
-Remove all usb drivers, including the one that is connected to the keyboard
-You may need to force the closure - the dawn of the computer.
-Do not turn on computer. Get on your knees and unplug the power cord. If you forget this step, the process of booth PC will load faulty driver again. (faulty or bad it depends on the scenario)
-By unplugging the power cord and let it stay for at least 5 minutes, you force your PC to renegotiate the devices and drivers
-Connect all USB cables
-Check the usb status icon in the status bar. Sometimes, you may need to restart the computer if windows asks you to do. Restart the computer if you are not sure what I'm talking about.
- and... Here we are. Bingo!
Now, if you plug the faulty device once again, you will need to repeat the process. However, in my case I return to the seller or the manufacturer for repair. You can use this procedure to force the outcrop of USB drivers. That's why I say I blame partially Microsoft for that matter because there is no utility or command available to force this action automatically do that when the problem occurs. This could potentially help people with the question when a few USB ports stop working if its pilots involved.
If it worked for you, please press useful Votes.
Thank you.

When I try to copy the files from Windows Mail on Vista on a USB key I get the message "you are about to copy this file without its properties". After studying this issue on the forums, a proposed solution was to reformat the drive in NTFS format, I did. This does not solve the problem. Any suggestions? Would it be OK in this case to ignore the message and copy the file without its properties?
Well data files/user of vista should work. Yes a NTFS format is good, go to run, or cmd, type:

Hello
Error 0 x 80070052 occurs usually when you try to copy files to an external storage device. You can format the drive to the FAT32 file system format and check if this solves the problem.
Come to your icons of files problem, I suggest you perform a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time before the problem occurred.

original title: could not copy files
When I try to copy a file to an external device using Windows Explorer I get the following error message: "cannot copy. The directory or file cannot be created. "I understand that I may have the physical limit of USB keys for the root directory. How can I fix it?
Hi GloriaZF,
What is the size of your external hard drive and what is the available free space? Open my computer-> right click on the external hard drive-> properties. You will not be able to copy more data if the disk is full, or who have less space compared to the size of the file you are trying to copy.
You need to remove the order data to make the space more. Deleted data from the device USB will be permanently deleted and will not be stored in your Inbox, so take care while eliminating unnecessary data.
I hope this helps.

Hi everyone, auggy,
