   It's my understanding that traditional copy / xcopy / robocopy like   
   commands /can't/ /successfully/ copy a full NT (et al.) system /because/   
   of files that are /system/ open and / or locked, e.g. the registry /   
   swap file / SAM DB.   
      
   You can /usually/ successfully copy /usr/ /data/.   
      
   At least that's been my experience when trying to copy a running NT et   
   al. system.
