This is not strictly true. The date/time xxcopy writes to the
log is when it started. If the distinction matters, you can
add the elapsed time written in the summary to the start time
or you can just look at the timestamp of the log itself to
see when it was closed after completion. Alternately, if you
are running xxcopy in a batch file, you can append the time
it finished in batch e.g. assuming W2k or higher:

xxcopy ... /oa:xxcopy.log
echo Xxcopy completed at %date% %time% >> xxcopy.log

I have an 8 computer license of xxcopy.  The servers that it is being
used on have changed and now there are names in the registry of
machines that no longer exist.  When I try to copy from the new
machines it does not allow me to do it automattically.

I want to remove all the servers in the list so it can just pick up
the new servers (7 of them) itself.  I tried replacingthe names of the
old ones with the new ones but it did not work.  Must I delete the
server hssh also?

Thanks

The algorithm used by XXCOPY to manage a site license is
documented in the XXTB #35 article:

    http://www.xxcopy.com/xxcopy35.htm

What I suggest is to create a batch file with the
contents similar to the following:

     setlist.bat
    -----------------------------------------
     xxcopy  /L/QF1  \\computer7\c\
     xxcopy  /L/QF1  \\computer6\c\
     xxcopy  /L/QF1  \\computer5\c\
     xxcopy  /L/QF1  \\computer4\c\
     xxcopy  /L/QF1  \\computer3\c\
     xxcopy  /L/QF1  \\computer2\c\
     xxcopy  /L/QF1  \\computer1\c\
     xxcopy  /HOSTS
    -----------------------------------------

Depending upon the contents of the list at the time of
invocation, the number of user-prompts you encounter
running this batch file may vary --- your response to
the prompts should always be "Y".   When the batch
file is done done, you will see the contents of the
list as follows:

      \\(the name of the local computer here)
      \\computer1
      \\computer2
      \\computer3
      \\computer4
      \\computer5
      \\computer6
      \\computer7

Since the first slot in the list is always occupied by
the local computer (the computer that launches the
XXCOPY.EXE program), it is pointless to include
a line that contains the name of the host computer
(but it would not hurt).

The order in which the computer names are listed in the
batch file is not terribly important as long as the
host count in the site license can accommodate them all.
But, if the case where the host count of the license
may be less, then, the computer name that you wish to
put into the list the most should be placed towards the
bottom of the batch file.

There is no way to do it in a fully automated way
(you should expect one or more user prompts to appear
when you run such a batch file).

Greetings users:

I have a new machine using two SATA drives and a ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe
mainboard.  The unit runs well but requires care when setting up to
make sure it boots off the proper drive(s).

I also discovered that if a new USB drive is attached the bios must
be re-set at next boot up or the machine will attempt to boot off the
new drive.  (took me a while to deal with that quirk)

Safe Mode works well with SATA drives.  Recovery Console, however
does not recognize SATA drives.  (I suppose one could install some
sort of SATA drivers ahead of XP, but why bother, I wonder)

Other discoveries:
- xxcopy runs fine in safe mode but since the XP Recovery Console
will not recognize the SATA drives it is not useful in recovery
console mode.  (More than likely xxclopy needs XP running to function
anyway, doesn't it?).

- xxCLONE (the other program) runs well with the SATA drives while in
XP and will boot just fine as long as boot.ini is correct.

- xxcopy runs well in dealing with the SATA drives (NTFS) and reads
and writes well back and forth to the two USB FAT32 hard drives I use.

My OS is Windows XP Home Edition.

Using a batch file mentioned in this forum a couple years ago...I can
boot to the xxclone target and do a nice cleanout of temporary
internet and history files that are otherwise locked when the
original OS is running:

Here's the batch file I use:

xxcopy "F:\*\Temporary Internet Files\" /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy "E:\*\Temporary Internet Files\" /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy "C:\*\Temporary Internet Files\" /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy F:\*\history\ /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy E:\*\history\ /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy C:\*\history\ /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy C:\*\temp\ /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy E:\*\temp\ /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy C:\*\trash\ /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy F:\*\trash\ /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy E:\*\trash\ /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy C:\*\*.phd /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy F:\*\*.phd /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy E:\*\*.phd /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy c:\*\recent\ /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy F:\*\recent\ /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy E:\*\recent\ /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy c:\*\*.ie5\ /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy F:\*\*.ie5\ /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy E:\*\*.ie5\ /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy c:\*\cookies\ /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy F:\*\cookies\ /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy E:\*\cookies\ /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy C:\*\*.tmp /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy F:\*\*.tmp /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy E:\*\*.tmp /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy C:\*\*.old /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy F:\*\*.old /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy E:\*\*.old /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy C:\*\*.bak /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy F:\*\*.bak /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed
xxcopy E:\*\*.bak /rs/s/r/h/yy/ed

This batch file also runs fine off the original XP drive..but won't
clear out the locked files, of course.

Any remarks or comments appreciated...

As usual thank you for the prompt clear response.  Been a while Kan  hope
all is well

I am still stuck with my new laptop hard disk and
facing the same problem.

I am still new with the usage of the XXCLONE so
will anyone of you especially Kan or John please
advise, if you know the answer or should I give
up.

Thanks in advance.

As I recall, xxclone is not intended to make an external USB drive bootable.  I
know I have never able to do it with my laptop although it's been awhile since I
tried.  You might search the archives, it seems Kan once discussed this, and he
had suspicions that Microsoft, for licensing reasons, may not want a true clone
operation to an external drive to work.  On the other hand mgomgo's recent post
indicates his system was attempting to boot to a USB drive so I'll admit that
I'm out on a limb here.

I can say that I have not heard of anyone being successful in making a bootable
clone of a laptop to an external hard drive.

John

As John and Kan have mentioned Windows doesn't seem to like a user to
boot from a USB drive.

Using my new machine which recognizes USB drives during boot-up...a
cloned USB drive -attempted- to boot...but instead I got thrown over
to Safe Mode.  Repeated attemtps just put me into a loop of boot/safe
mode/boot, etc.

If Simon's machine will accomodate two hard drives he could clone
over to the second drive.

However...that's a waste of drive space unless he can partition the
drive and create one partition just large enough for the clone
operation (plus swap file, should he need to boot from that clone)
and then use the other partition on the second drive for personal
data, etc.

Another solution (which I use) is to run xxclone to a second
partition on the single hard drive on my laptop machine.  That makes
the operation exceedingly slow..but it works.  The machine is rather
old anyway...and is slow by nature.

Of course...should the hard drive fail...then the clone is a goner,
too.  But..I haven't had a hard drive failure in a few years.

Thanks for the feedback...looks like I am trying
something impossible then or at least have not
been done yet.  In that case I better put my new
hd to better use rather than trying to figure out
what when wrong.

Hallo,

I worked with xxcopy to backup network drives under WIN2000.
I use the clone function and network path´s. Everything worked fine.


Now we have an WIN2003 Server. I have updated the License and
installed the latest Version.

I take the same scripts as under WIN2000 (only change the path) but it
doesn`t work.
The scripts should make Backups from the Network path to the WIN2003
Server maschine like this:

xxcopy \\gespc13\gesim3\*.* I:\ /CLONE /FF3602 /YY /oE2 /oNE:\GESIM3-
BAK-log.txt

The Prozess says no files to copy, but the desination is empty.

The network-drive is gesim3 and lokated on our Samba Server. All
members of the workgroup have the rights to read, write and execute
the drive

When I take a sub-folder in gesim3 for cloning it works fine.

Both Maschines are listed under "hosts".

What can I do the work like in WIN2000?

What is the difference for XXCOPY from WIN2000 to WIN2003 Server?

Thanks

Michael Scholze

OK, here's what I want to do...

My company sells computer terminals that are loaded with Windows XPe
(embedded).  Same as regular XP, but trimmed down to cut out
unneccesary features.  We have just received some new devices with a
4GB microdrive (previously we used a 512MB CF card).

To windows, this looks just like a standard c:\ drive.  As part of our
setup process, we install some programs and make configuration chages
to the control panel, etc.  I am looking to streamline this process.

We do not have access to the XPe image.

After setting up one terminal, I would like to clone the drive to
another networked terminal.  Another option might be to only write the
files that have been changed.

Any suggestions?

Hello all! My question is as follows: Supose I do have to execute the
xxcopy command in one of my company´s server...In it, there are 10
shared directories and I need to delete all files not modified until
31/12/2004, but, there is a directory that can´t have its contents
erased... Question: what is the correct sintax for xxcopy not to
delete the files within this directory? Tks...

Here's the basic commands you need:

/rmdir - shortcut command for file deletion
/db:<date> - only select files modified before the date
/x<name> - exclude a file/directory from selected action
/ed<n> - keep <n> levels of empty directories after deletion
or
/ed - don't delete empty directories

So your command might be something like:

xxcopy f:\test\ /rmdir/y/ed/db:2004/x:keepthisdir\

Add /? to the command to get further explanation of the switches
used.

Hello,
I just ran across this thread (from January 10301-10355), and now I'm
confused. Am I breaking license?

(QUOTE from XXCOPY TECHNICAL BULLETIN #90)
... Commercial Use Site License Pricing
              *************************************
         License     The number   Per-computer    Total

updates beyond the first twelve months, please contact Pixelab...
(end QUOTE)

Yet the discussion which started form message 10301 and seems to end
with Kan at 10355 seems to be saying it's an annual fee, contrary to
the line above saying "...the program will function indefinitely."

Do I send the $180 fee in annually or the batch files I think are
running nightly actually stop running? I have 10 pc's networked
together, and XXCopy is run from batch files located on my main
server pc where XXCopy is installed.

Any clarification would be appreciated.

Hi,

This is what I am trying to do:

Copy image files from a CF card to a folder named YYYYMMDD_HHMM on my
hard drive. This first part I managed to figure out - small batch file
to SET a few parameters. Time and date is the current time and date.

The next part is the bit that I am having difficulty with. I need to
be able to rename the files during (or after) the transfer to
YYYYMMDD_HHMM_xxxx format where xxxx is the last 4 digits of the
original file name which looks like _DSCxxxx.NEF or DSC_xxxx.NEF (both
may be present - jpg may also be present with same name formats). The
date and time here needs to be the original file creation time and date.
Is this even possible? AFAIK there is not a single program out there
that is able to pull date/time from exif data for batch renaming
although Windows has no problem showing creation date/time. I could be
wrong.

The last part of the batch is easy where the files are immediately
backed up to a network location (or another drive).

Basically the actions of the batch go like this: Transfer (copy, not
move), rename, backup.

Any help would be appreciated but please go easy on me. This is the my
first batch (other than my regular backup routines) that I have done
in a very long time. I am reading everything that I can lay my hands
on trying to get myself to a point where I am reasonably competent,
but am still well behind.

Cheers

Wayback -I think I had an EXIF reader that would rename a whole
directory at a time.
Try a search on exif reader software.  Good luck.

try here. Its freeware that will pull the date/time out of the image
file, i think that's what your sasking for.

There is also an example macro on the page that extracts the date and
time from a JPEG image and a macro that extracts the EXIF data from
all the JPEG images in a folder.

Thanks Guys

I found exifutils (specifically exiffiles) at
http://www.hugsan.com/EXIFutils/ which can deal with Nikon *.NEF files.

The next trick would be to figure out how to get it to batch rename
from a Windows batch. Documentation mentions Perl and templates but
nothing more. Oh Boy, what a learning curve.

I was sorta hoping that xxcopy could handle the transfer and renaming
of files part on its own. There is mention of /IN<templ> in the help
file but other than that, I have not been able to find much on that
particular item. I am not too sure of what it actually does.

The reason for this whole exercise is to transfer to dated folder,
rename files with date/time, and backup in a single mouse (double) click.

Cheers

You could do this in batch by renaming with either the modified
date (usually when the photo was taken) or the creation date
(usually when the photos get downloaded to hard disk). Here's an
example (W2k or higher):

@echo off
setlocal
:: xxcopy command to list date, time and fully qualified filename
:: change /fw to /fc to use creation instead of modified date
:: change source directory to suit your camera/batch file
set cmd=xxcopy f:\test\ /fw/ldt/zs
:: Extract file data to variables then do renaming. This is a bit
:: long winded to make it clearer what's being done. See also FOR /?
for /f "tokens=1-6* delims=-: " %%a in ('%cmd%') do (
set yyyymmdd=%%a%%b%%c
set hhmm=%%d%%e
set fqname=%%g
set fname=%%~ng
set fext=%%~xg
call :rename
)
goto :eof

:rename
set ftail=%fname:~-4%
echo [demo] ren "%fqname%" %yyyymmdd%_%hhmm%_%ftail%%fext%
goto :eof

If you want to use EXIF data instead of file timestamp data,
I suggest using LupasRename http://rename.lupasfreeware.org
This program is free, can extract exif data, can use date and
time fields and operates in both GUI and batch modes. Plus many
more features including autonumbering and regular expression
operations - it's the xxcopy of renamers.

Basically you would use the following settings in the GUI mode
where you can experiment with and preview the renaming operations:

Left crop n chars = 4
Insert before filename = <e:datetime>_<e:datetime:h><e:datetime:mm>_

For batch mode, either get LupasRename to save the settings or
create an ini file with the following:

[Filename]
LeftCrop=1
LeftCropValue="4"
InsertBefore=1
InsertBeforeValue="<e:datetime>_<e:datetime:h><e:datetime:mm>_"

then run LupasRename in batch mode as explained in the help file
under Command Line Parameters.

The version that you acquire the site licence for will continue
to run indefinitely. The possible exception to this is if the
OS on which xxcopy is installed undergoes a major upgrade,
xxcopy may start issuing user prompts or long wait periods that
might break automated batch files.

If you want to upgrade the version of xxcopy (after 12 months),
you need to pay the annual fee which is 25% of the licence fee.

Thanks Garry,

I managed to work something out with Nikon Acquire (part of the free
Nikon View software) where it actually works as a standalone. It
needed the root directory of the CF card passed to it before it would
work. Normally it had other software passing this info and of course
there is no command line documentation. A relatively simple command
line option /D=[path] did it. This app does a nice job of the renaming
and transfer and it nice having it work without having to start it
from within another app.
Next I wrote a very simple batch (2 lines) to start this and then
backup the files. The backup portion backs up the entire My Pictures
directory incrementally instead of just the new directory for the sake
of simplicity. I have xxcopy backup this directory on a three hour
schedule anyway, so if there have been any changes since the last
scheduled backup, they are usually small.

Cheers and thanks again.

I have users un a user directory. Each user file has a folder
(favorites) that i want to copy to another directory under the same
user folder name. I don't want to copy everything form the source user
folder just the favorites folder.
Can this be don?

I don't want to recreate the wheel if someone already has this.

I need to move the contents of a folder to another folder after the
backup session finishes.  The backup software, Tivoli Storage Manager,
can run a post schedule command, but I'm clueless about the Wednesday
selection in the batch file.

I've included the batch file as it currently is.  I've tested it and the
piece works flawlessly my test directories, but doesn't have any logic
for the day.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thankx
Michael Edwards






rem
rem Copy this batch file to the old_xfer directory.  This ensures that

Kan,

Is there a problem with the latest version of XXCOPY16?

From time to time I like to use XXCOPY16 to delete index.dat
files by booting into DOS and deleting them from there.  I
decided this time I would write a shorter batch file to do this
and test it first.  To my surprise here are the results for my
command using XXCOPY and then XXCOPY16 for comparing the
differences.  XXCOPY16 selected all the files, but XXCOPY
selected correctly the one file.  I'm running Win98SE.

Early comments (around 2002) suggested that cloning Win2K and Win XP
would not produce bootable discs.

In Aug 2005, the note is that XXCopy now supports Win XP SP2, and
Win2K SP4.  Does this mean that using the latest version will produce
a bootable clone from a Win 2K SP4 disc?

I have had a disk crash, and want a bootable disk cloned on a second
hard drive to keep me sane in the unlikely event of a recurrence.

XXCOPY still will not create a bootable disk.  However, this program
will:  http://xxclone.com/iwhatis.htm

Same fine company...different program.

If the freeware version works for you..you might want to consider
the "pro" version. Cost is low..and it supports the author's efforts.

Yes, just do something like this:

xxcopy "C:\Documents and Settings\*\Favorites\" "C:\destination\" /bu

John

Garry provided the basic mechanics of a way to do this in message 11607

Depending on your how your Windows Regional Options are configured, this should
do it (it won't actually do anything until you remove the word ECHO):

John

for /f %%a in ("%date%") do set DoW=%%a

if "%DoW%" == "Sat" ECHO xxcopy SRC DST /options
