How can I use Hobocopy to copy data on Network? I am able to copy data on Local drive. But I want to copy that data on network drive.
Hobocopy is capable of copying data to a network connection, via either a mapped network drive or a UNC path. However, it cannot copy data from a network destination, because it relies on Volume Shadow Snapshots, which are a local-only feature of Windows.

Hi I have a quick question - can you use Volume Shadow Copy Service snapshots on removable flash drives? I am making a data backup program that uses Volume Shadow Copy Service to back up drives. When I back up external hard drives setting up the VSS snapshot works well with drive type DRIVE_FIXED as returned by GetDriveType. When I try to back up a thumb drive setting up the VSS snapshot (specifically the AddToSnapshotSet function) fails with VSS_E_VOLUME_NOT_SUPPORTED ffffffff8004230c as reported by the VSS API functions. GetDriveType returns drive type DRIVE_REMOVABLE. All the drives are NTFS. Is it possible to use VSS snapshots to back up thumb drives? Do I have to enable it for the drive? Thanks!
I have saved the Xcode_12.2.xip file onto and external USB drive. How can I expand the file with the destination as my computer, say in downloads?
If this doesn't make sense I can provide more information.
Thanks!
The environment
Master PC has access to shared drive X
Master PC has Jenkins as a Windows service
Slave PC is a windows PC in same network as master
Slave PC most likely will not have access to drive X (there will be many slaves PCs running this in the future)
The scenario
I need to copy some files from drive X to the slave machine, but this is a conditional step based on a parameter of the job, so this should be a pipeline step as we don't want to copy the files if not needed. The files to copy might be large so stash/unstash is not an option.
So basically my question is, Is there a simple way to solve the scenario without having to give access to X drive to the slave(s) PC?
I think you think you should copy the files to a neutral location, like a binary repo and copy from there.
So ultimately I found that stash has no hard limit, for now I'm using stash/unstash even on large files and there is no error (e.g. 1.5 Gb) until we start using a different method, like the one in Holleoman's answer
So I found out how to share folders using Virtual Box and running Windows 8.
I was wondering, if I save files or projects from Windows 8 to the shared folder on my Mac, will TimeMachine backup those files onto my external harddrive? The hard drive is of course formatted for Mac because of that whole debockel, but that is besides the point. Even though the files were made in Windows.
Also...My assumption is that I would not be able to access the files on my external formatted hard drive from Virtual Box running Windows 8. Is this true?
To my knowledge, you cannot access the files on a journaled formatted hard drive from Windows without extra software. If I understand you correctly, you are trying to backup files created in the Windows VM within your Time Machine backup hard drive?
I'm sure you have solved this by now, but you should consider backing up the VM itself. If the files on the Windows Machine are important you can leave them in a shared folder and have time machine back up that folder.
Perforce is downloading files to the external hard-drive connected to my MacBookPro as writable ("777"). It's as if the "allwrite" option is set in my workspace, but it's not.
I thought Perforce was supposed to mark the files read-only until I check them out. Is there a setting somewhere I missed?

Is your external hard-drive formated as hfs+? If it's FAT32, it will be 777 anyway.
Have you checked if Windows thinks the files are read only after syncing with the Mac client?
Perforce does not like it when you access the same disk location from two different workspaces, nor the same workspace from two different hosts. This is because the server tracks the state of the files on the client; you're begging for your local store to lose synchronization with the depot.
What are you really trying to accomplish here?
I would recommend that you forget about FAT32; put your Windows workspace on an NTFS volume and your Mac workspace on an HFS+ volume. Submit & sync to share the data. Storage is cheap.
