The specified network name is no longer available - problem copying.

Asked by Louverril in Windows Networking, Network Routers, Windows Batch Scripting

I am trying to schedule a back up to copy my outlook.pst and archive.pst files from my laptop to the PC I use as a file server.

File Server Dell Dimension XP SP3
Laptop Sony Vaio Vista Business SP1
They are connected via a Belkin router and Ethernet cable.

Here is the batch file I am running :-

taskkill /im outlook.exe
REM to force a delay while outlook closes
CHOICE /T 10 /D y
COPY C:\users\me\appdata\local\microsoft\outlook\outlook.pst "\\DELL05\My Documents\Mail Backup\outlook.pst"
COPY C:\users\me\appdata\local\microsoft\outlook\archive.pst "\\DELL05\My Documents\Mail Backup\archive.pst"

However on the first copy command I keep getting the error  the specified network name is no longer available. 9 times out of 10 the second copy command works fine  but not everytime.

After doing some research on the web and looking at problems other people have had, I have made sure both network cards have the latest drivers. The DHCP lease time setting on the Belkin is forever.

Thanks Lou
