I'm trying to copy backup files to another server. I'm getting invalid drive specification error for this command:
exec xp_cmdshell N'xcopy D:\"Program Files"\"Microsoft SQL Server"\MSSQL\BACKUP\HCLL_Production_DB\HCLL_Production_DB_db_200702182300.BAK \\HCLLTEST\D$\HCLL\PRODBACKUP\HCLLProductionDBdb20070218.BAK'
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Kind of a double post... please see my other reply.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
