This can happen if you copy the whole drive d:\*.*       to a backup directory h:\backup_19_01_2015_16_17\*.*              First try a shorter destination path e.g. h:\1\*.*       or use SUBST to assign a drive letter to h:\backup_19_01_2015_16_17\       and copy to this drive.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
