CopyDoubler's Fast Replace Fails on SFM Volumes with Error -48 (120751)
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q120751 SYMPTOMS
If you use CopyDoubler to copy a folder from a SuperDoubler Macintosh
computer to a Services for Macintosh (SFM) volume on a Windows NT Server,
then try to re-copy the folder to the same volume by choosing Fast Replace
when prompted, you get this error:
Error -48 (dupFNErr) Duplicate filename (rename)
CAUSE
For a Fast Replace of an existing folder (which means that no changes have
been made to the folder) CopyDoubler requires directory enumerations to
return entries in alphabetical order. If they are not returned this way,
CopyDoubler tries to create the first directory (alphabetically) on the
server. This causes an Object Exists error on the server, so CopyDoubler
issues error -48 (DuplicateFileName).
WORKAROUND
Instead of the Fast Replace option, use Normal Replace with CopyDoubler.
STATUS
This is a design incompatibility. Services for Macintosh and the AFP spec
do not require that filenames be returned in alphabetical order from a
directory enumerate.
NOTE: CopyDoubler is part of a package called SuperDoubler which is sold
