Does anyone know if there is a size limit to the amount you can copy at one time using X-copy. &nbsp;Right now I have a script copying about 20 gig at a time using the old dos command X-copy on a Windows 2003 server.<br />
<br />
I need to copy about 500 gig in one batch now. &nbsp;I read in the documentation that you can copy whole drives with it, but couldn't find a size limit, if there is one.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Is there a size limit when copying with Xcopy (old Dos command)

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.

Microsoft DOS

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.
