I tried to backup about 55 directories that contain about 300,000 files each.
The files average about 15-30 bytes each. Each directory is about 10 MB or
less, but the properties list them at over 1 GB each, on disk (I only have a
40 MB hard drive so I guess they don't really take that much space). I was
backing them up to an 80 GB drive with over 60 GB free space.
Xcopy and Robocopy gave me an "Insufficient system resources exist to
complete the request" error after copying about four directories. Robocopy
tried again every 30 seconds and was able to copy a few dozen more files at a
time before the same error would occurred.
The closest solution I found was
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304101/en-us but it doesn't mention XP. It
covers NT 4.0 though. Would it apply to XP? In my registry I was able to find
the registry subkey that's mentioned in the NT instructions, so I'm hopeful
it will work, but I figured I should ask first.
