Robocopy Error

I keep receiving the following error:

2008/05/12 15:19:27 ERROR 6 (0x00000006) Copying File
\\servername\sharename\DOCUMENTS\test123\drawing.vsd
The handle is invalid.

Anybody have any ideas? Robocopy also skips open files. Is there anyway to
avoid this?

Re: Robocopy Error

robocopy /?

You want 'backup mode' (/b or /zb)

Utility Spotlight Robocopy GUI:

Re: Robocopy Error

I am using the following options:

/COPYALL /B /SEC /MIR /R:0 /W:0 /LOG:MyLogfile.txt /NFL /NDL

Should I just add /b or /zb to these options?

Re: Robocopy Error

Here is the batch file I am running:

rem @ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL

SET _source=\\servname\sharename

SET _dest=\\servername\bacckup\sharename

SET _what=/COPYALL /B /SEC /MIR
:: /COPYALL :: COPY ALL file info
:: /B :: copy files in Backup mode.
:: /SEC :: copy files with SECurity
:: /MIR :: MIRror a directory tree

SET _options=/R:0 /W:0 /LOG:MyLogfile.txt /NFL /NDL
:: /R:n :: number of Retries
:: /W:n :: Wait time between retries
:: /LOG :: Output log file
:: /NFL :: No file logging
:: /NDL :: No dir logging

Robocopy %_Source% %_dest% %_what% %_options%
