Copying to another drive

A

Andie Z

Win 2000 Pro. I want to copy my "Documents and Settings"
from my C:\ to D:\ to use as a backup. "Copy" blocks me
from doing this because it will not copy NTUSER files as
it claims they are being used. How can I get around this?

Use this command to skip over locked files:

xcopy /s /d /y /c "c:\My Documents\Andie\*.*" d:\Backup\
