i am trying to copy a 6.4GB .nsf (notes DB) from my c: to a Ext USB HDD

so far i have tried SyncToy Robocopy TeraCopy.

synctoy doesn't even see it, robocopy falls over i have increased the page file to max and teracopy falls over at about 4GB

i have red about lots of programs out there but i reallly cant find one that will handle a really large single file pls help

what is the file system on the target usb HDD? if its FAT32 then youll need to change the format to NTFS or split the file since FAT32 wont do files 4gb+

and ive copied 20+ Gb single file with teracopy so i can tell you its not a limitation of that software

teracopy falls over at about 4GB

backing geek's comment. Limitation of the file system.

:> Thankyou thats something i totaly over looked. cheers.

do you know what the limitations of robocopy are? i red that it was your pageing file and ram i.e can not copy file larger than space avaliable.

You could try RichCopy, it's a multithreaded copying tool by MS.

You don't need ANY special tool to copy a 6gb file. Just drag and drop with Windows Explorer. It works just fine. I keep hundreds of DVD rips on my drive and move them around all the time.

Apart from the FAT32 issue, u can try this software also..
