Xcopy problem

Bosh

Have a wee batch file that I use for backups.

Problem now is that it only copies over approx two thirds of one folder contents.

I initially thought that the destination drive was full, so I changed the target drive to an empty one to test, but it still only copies a portion of the folder.

It's the second line that isn't working properly, the 'Documents' folder. All the others are working fine

I've tried it both with & without the 'c' switch, makes no difference.

XCOPY "C:\Users\Office\Desktop\*.*" "Z:\Backup\Admin\Desktop" /d/s/e/y/c

XCOPY "E:\Documents\Documents\*.*" "Z:\Backup\Admin\Documents" /d/s/e/y/c

XCOPY "E:\Music\Music\*.*" "Z:\Backup\Admin\MP3" /d/s/e/y/c

xcopy "E:\Pictures\Pictures\*.*" "Z:\Backup\Admin\Pictures" /d/s/e/y/c

xcopy "E:\Videos\*.*" "Z:\Backup\Admin\Videos" /d/s/e/y/c

xcopy "E:\Music\iTunes\*.*" "Z:\Backup\Admin\iTunes" /d/s/e/y/c

XCOPY "E:\Audio\*.*" "Z:\Backup\Admin\Audio" /d/s/e/y/c

XCOPY "E:\Downloads\*.*" "Z:\Backup\Admin\Downloads" /d/s/e/y/c

A limitation of 254 characters. Never used to be a problem till people named files and folders "just any old thing that I just thought of"
