I used xcopy to copy a full folder structure from one drive to the other (destination was blank).
I don't recall exactly the arguments but pretty sure it was
xcopy /c /e /O d:\ g:
Where d is source. g: is a brand new drive, no data on it. (So the possibility that I specified wrong drives is not the case here)
Well somehow, BOTH drives contain the data as it was about 1 year ago. How in the world did that happen? It makes no sense at all. The files continuously changed and were never backed up that far back (no reason to) so I don't even know where it got the data from. I'm really confused. The fact that it even changed the source drive is rather dangerous too. If I did not have daily backup jobs to restore from, and had just treated the old drive as the backup, I'd pretty much be screwed now.
Only thing I can think of is a volume shadow copy screw up, but its not enabled.
