Failure message 0x80070091 by copying on Hidrive WebDAV

rs_boxcryptor

Hello,

my actual configuration to storing my encrypted data in the cloud is like the following:

- i store my data on the virtual boxcrypter drive under "computer"
- the folder with the encrypted boxcryptor-files is located in C:
- this files should by synchronised with the strato hidrive via a rsync-script later

For this reason i tried to copy the local encrypted files, stored in this folder, into my WebDAV(SSL) mounted Hidrive. But when I do this i get the message 0x80070091 depend on a folder XYZ which shouldn´t empty (I know that it isn´t empty). Is just with this one folder. When I copy the content of this folder by manuel i get no failure message.

Things I tried to fix the problem:
- close the boxcrypter executable, to prevent data acces
- changed the folder permission from read-only to read/write
- i also tried to upload the files with filezila via ftps but for some reason many files are unable to open by the ftp program.
- by searching in google after 0x80070091 i just found people who wants do delete a folder but i want only copy

So, my question is, is there any opportunity to check that the data is correct stored in the cloud. For example can i load the encrypted data on the cloud in a virtual XP to check if they were ok or corrupted? Or is there another way to check if the data is complete and save?

Thanks for help...

Best regards

In the meanwhile we're using Strato on a regular basis, but haven't seen this 0x80070091 message before.

But if you want to check to what extent the copy to an online storage was successful or not, there are several options:

1) Mount the online storage as a drive again and use a tool that can compare a directory and all its subdirectories and files. For example, you may use a (free) Linux like "diff" command under Windows:

diff --brief -r
path/to/local/encrypted/dirname
path/to/online/encrypted/dirname

These 3 lines are one command line, of course.

The --brief option (note: two times a '-' ) says: only tell me which files differ or are present in one dirname, but not in the other.

The -r option (note: only one '-' ) says: traverse the directory and all it's subdirectories.

When you execute this command it will tell you which files are different ( incomplete upload ) or which file or directory is present in one directory hierarchy, but not in the other directory hierarchy ( not copied / uploaded at all ).

2) Another option is to use a (free) Linux like rsync tool under Windows if you have a paid Strato subscription.

rsync -rvt --progress -e "ssh"
path/to/local/encrypted/dirname
strato_account_name@rsync.hidrive.strato.com:path/to/encrypted/online/dirname

Above-mentioned 3 rsync lines are one command line and again, note the single '-' and double '--' command options.

The rsync command will show you which directories and / or files are not entirely copied _and_ will complete the copy process if necessary.

Note also that the destination path is sometimes different, depending on the Strato access method you're using, smb/cifs access has an extra "root" as part of a directory path, see:

http://www.strato-faq.co.uk/artikel.html?articleid=2301

The advantage of rsync is, it will always complete interrupted transfers. Actually, we do not use copy commands anymore, only rsync.

In addition don't worry too much in case you do not want to think about what you've changed or not in a particular directory tree, just use a high-level directory, rsync will figure out what has been changed or not, and will copy only the changes to the destination directory.

Using rsync, speedups of a factor 1000 to 10 000 ( sometimes much more ) are quite common in our case.

3) Using Strato there are a few other scenarios, but 2) is probably the most interesting one ( delta-algorithm ).

Hope this solves your problem.
