SYS1187: XCOPY cannot access the target file.

SYS1187: XCOPY cannot access the target file.
I am getting this after a while when trying to backup a partition to a
network drive (using ecs1.1 and the latest samba netdrive plugin)


There is plenty of space on the disk, and xcopy is the only program
accessing it

Is there a known explanation/solution?

help sys1187 gives you more info. Are you copying a large number of files ? Try to increase the number of file handles the system can deal with:

SET SHELLHANDLESINC= 80

or so.

That didn't help. However, I solved with 4os2 copy command.
So the problem was xcopy and not samba.
