Hi, I’m trying to create a batch file that will stop the xcopy and delete batch process and return a “Drive Full” statement, if there is not enough space on my destination drive. This is what I have so far:<\/p>\n
_______________________<\/p>\n
@echo off
\nset INPUT=
\nset \/p INPUT= Enter PREVIOUS Date (ddmmyyyy) for which you want to create an ARCHIVE folder:
\nmd h:\\archive\\graphics\\%INPUT%<\/p>\n
xcopy “i:\\*.*” “h:\\archive\\graphics\\%INPUT%” \/D \/E \/R \/I \/K \/-Y || goto Error<\/p>\n
echo y | rd \/s \/q i:\\DailyWork<\/p>\n
echo y | del i:\\Clients.xls<\/p>\n
:Error
\necho The Archive Drive is FULL! STOPPING Backup Procedure.
\nExit
\n_______________________<\/p>\n
The batch file does stop, when the backup drive is full, but instead of showing the error statement about the drive being full, I get a message that instead states …<\/p>\n
“Insufficient disk space on current disk.
\nInsert another disk and type <Return> to continue…”<\/p>\n
… and I have to hit the “X” control button in the upper right of the batch’s pop-up window to close out of and exit the batch file. I’ve also tried the following variations, but the batch file ended with the same result:<\/p>\n
1) xcopy “i:\\*.*” “h:\\archive\\graphics\\%INPUT%” \/D \/E \/R \/I \/K \/-Y || goto :Error
\n(adding the colon before the word Error)<\/p>\n
2) xcopy “i:\\*.*” “h:\\archive\\graphics\\%INPUT%” \/D \/E \/R \/I \/K \/-Y
\nif %ErrorLevel% GTR 0 goto Error<\/p>\n
From what I understand, batch file exit codes go from 0 to 5, and the code pertaining to insufficient disk space is 4 … but to be save, I should have any code greater than 0 stop my xcopy\/delete batch.<\/p>\n
I would greatly appreciate any help in correcting my coding syntax for this batch file. Thanks so much!<\/p>\n
