Greetings from Florida,
The XCOPY (as well as the SET MIRROR) creates a set of database files in the desired drive. Those files, however, are marked as "mirror files" and don't open with the CON command generating the error 2973. What is the procedure to use the data inside those files? Tony Nicolini Dec/26/2001 - 15:09 Hs (Florida) -------------- No, it's no substitute. Everyone hears the mantra, BackUp, BackUp, BackUp. But you still will go to your customer and before doing something you inquire when the last backup was done and you are shocked that they will often reply with something like "last wednesday" (it's Tuesday next, Right?) Since storage is so cheap, if you still find yourself unable to drag yourself to the server to change tapes, you could use a method I used sucessfully for years that provided at least one days protection. I just kept another harddrive spinning (100gb + Ide drives now for $300 or so) and used the Xcopy command run from a scheduler and set the command line switches for Xcopy to copy only changed files. Quick and effective one day protection. ================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: INTRO rbase-l ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: UNSUBSCRIBE rbase-l
