I think they just released 2.95.2  and it may cure that error message. Also
you may see changes with the compression bit

Re: [xxcopy] the compression bit

2..95.2 solved the pauses for a messasge after installing the XP

 but now when I run

 xxcopy F:\Archive Y:\Data\F\Archive /clone /yy /v2

 where F: is a hard drive and

 Y: is a Corsair Flash Voyager thumb drive formatted NTFS with
 compression enabled,

 everything xxcopy updates becomes uncompressed.

 Any switch I can use to fix this?
 It was fine with 2.93.1

Well, we somehow felt the support of the C-bit (Compression bit) in the
file attributes causes side effects that may be undesirable under certain
conditions.

The mechanism of the undoing the compression setting in the destination
directory is the /KS switch that is part of the /CLONE (or even /BACKUP)
operation. That is, with the /KS switch, the file attributes of the source
file will be preserved in the destination (overriding the parent directory
of the destination directory).

You should undo the /KS that comes with /CLONE or /BACKUP by adding /K0
after /CLONE or /BACKUP.

E.g.,

xxcopy f:\archive\ y:\data\f\archive\ /clone/k0 /yy/v2

One minor drawback with this is that /K0 does not preserve the R-bit
(Readonly attributes) as well as the C-bit (compress).

Without the /KS switch (i.e., /K0), the C-bit of the copied file is
determined by the C-bit of the (destination) parent directory (the R-bit is
unconditionally reset).
