| Robocopy job errorl with "The handle is invalid" on a large (161GB)file
I'm trying to use robocopy to do a restartable-copy (/ZB) of a backup image from my server to a full-disk encrypted (truecrypt) hard drive. Whenever robocopy gets to 94.4% of the file though, it starts bombing out saying that "The handle is invalid." The whole message is... ----------------------------------------- 2008/07/07 14:25:20 ERROR 6 (0x00000006) Copying File \\server\share \file The handle is invalid. Waiting 30 seconds... Retrying... ----------------------------------------- It just sits there and keeps retrying. If I kill the job and try to restart it, it starts over from the begining, the /ZB switch isn't working. Is there some size limit for robocopy? I could have sworn that I've copied files larger than this with no problem, but this one just won't take. For reference, I'm copying from sbs2003 SP2 to vista SP1. |

Sorry - it turns out I was running out of space on the drive. I guess I could pass the blame on to a bogus error message (why didn't it say "insufficient space" instead of "handle is invalid"???) but in the end it's my fault. |

| Robocopy job errorl with "The handle is invalid"
I had the same problem and couldn't find the solution anywhere. So I started to add and get rid of flags. When I removed the /b flag (copy in backup operator mode), my backup ran fine. I hope this helps you. |
