Hi, I'm running an XCOPY command within a bat file. The XCOPY takes several hours to run, lots of large files. Once it gets to the XCOPY, it copies all the files, but it does not continue to the next line in the bat file. It just stops. Any idea what is going on? Is there some sort of timeout? This is on a Windows 2000 server. The command looks like:

xcopy /O /Y E:\aaa\bbb\*.* E:\ccc\ddd\data 1>> E:\backup\log\backup_log.txt

Again, all the files are copied, but it doesn't execute the next line which is
echo . >> E:\backup\log\backup_log.txt

Any ideas?
