[OT] XXCopy problem

[sas2000]

2majki :

You give me the solution, its based on your Batch file, but changing %1 date input format from 24.04.2005 to 24/04/2005 in order the batch to work (at least on my computer).

This solution is not very good but it works, the perfect solution must be based on ZoSTeR post because there's where XXCopy stores its installation date value.

2ZoSTeR :
May you share it with us ?.

[majkinetor !]

Yup, date is computer dependent.

Be aware that in this case, your changed date may influence your copy operation.

The ZoSTer solution is much better. You can create buch script that will modify this value before xxcopy is used, or put this header before your backup operation.
You can do this using echos to ouutput correct registry data and after that regedit /s tempReg.reg to change it.

But still, it doesn't remove nasty messages.

I'm not an expert but using /YY and >NUL as in

Code: Select all

XXCOPY "C:\Program files\Opera" "E:\Opera" /PB /E /YY /H /K >NUL 
or 
XXCOPY "C:\Program files\Oper?" "E:" /PB /E /YY /H /K >NUL
 

/YY Suppresses nearly all prompts (good for batch scripts).

I don't get any nasty message at all, while XXCopy doesn't expire... .

[majkinetor !]

Thx.

Tell me something: does /YY remove typwriter effect?
Cuz if it doesn't, redirecting to NUL will only prevent showing it, but it will still wait for typewritter to finish.

Unfortunately neither /YY nor >NUL have any effect on typewritter nagscreen (it's showed on screen even with NUL).

XXCopy author has another software called XXClone (Similar to Ghost&Acronis), and the problem with this software it's even worse, because in several occasions XXClone has expired before a new version has been released.

That's why i'm looking for a solution to XXCopy typewritter screen problem.

/YY mean I say Yes and Yes .... non prompt

But you can also do the same with Xcopy .

I'm sorry, but compare Xcopy with XXCopy is like compare a Skoda with a Ferrari .

I'm sorry, but compare Xcopy with XXCopy is like compare an Opel with a Ferrari .

But it you only have the money for an Opel it is some time better than driving a stolen Ferrari.

Frankly i doubt that simple backups cannot be done with Xcopy

[sas2000]

But it you only have the money for an Opel it is some time better than driving a stolen Ferrari.

For the last time, XXCopy is Freeware software and Xcopy AFAIK belongs to MS.
 

[nsp]

To avoid TypeWriting stuff, redirect also stderr to NUL

Code: Select all

XXCOPY ..... 1>NUL 2>&1

hope this help

Fro the registry (.reg) you can create it inside your cmd file load it using regedit or reg command and ....
let's backup nowwwww

sas2000,

Hey, nobody insults Skoda here...

Hey, nobody insults Skoda here...

It was just a comparation not an insult. Xcopy is not a bad application as Skoda is not a bad car.
 
But i prefer a freeware Ferrari.

sas2000,
I hope so for your own good.

[majkinetor !]

Oh, this is unbelivable

Hacker showing the first glimps of humanity. U actually succeded to insult him. This is moving forward .

You don't get it so far I see. Redirecting whatever to whatever doesn't solve the problem of typewritter. It is coded so it types text slowely redirection or not.

i know that YY means yes to all, but I doubt typewritter fall into ALL categeory.

btw, sas2000, I also beleive that XXCOPY is not the only freeware ferrary in the world.

And the correct comparison for this case would be to drive skoda for 10 miles every time before entiring into ferrari (sorry Hacker, but hej, you have scoda we have Yugo, so ...)

This should work:

Set the permissions of the

Code: Select all

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\vwintab.exe.

to deny "Full Control" for Everyone (add the user group Everyone first) so this key can't be read or modified.

Set your clock to several years in the future and run XXCopy.

In

Code: Select all

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Pixelab\XXCOPY

delete the DateInstalled key and deny "Set Value" for Everyone (under Advanced). This makes the DateLastUsed and Miscellaneous values readonly.

I work with a german Windows version so I hope the terms are correct.
