This is a batch file I use to do a full backup sbbs

@echo off
SET backupdate=%date:~-4,4%%date:~-10,2%%date:~-7,2%
SET target=G

echo Performing Backup for %backupdate%:

mkdir %target%:\Backups\%backupdate%
xcopy c:\sbbs\*.* %target%:\Backups\%backupdate%\ /s /e /c /y

That would be a great backup, but when I ran it, it froze when it got to c:\sbbs\data\mail.shd.

It would NOT continue, and I waited about 10 minutes before I hit the CTRL-C.

I don't see where I use mail.shd anywhere? Why would you put that into a sub?

most of that I can't answer, but the mail.shd is part of the e-mail stuff, not echo messages

also that file is probably kinda big and it's locked.
