Should PostgreSQL maybe provide its own file-copy utility for Windows that meets the requirements for safe WAL archiving?
Microsoft does provide an enterprise-ready Âwebscale copy program ... it is called robocopy and part of the Windows Server Resource Kit Tools. Would you mind trying that utility for copying WAL-files?
(Microsoft URLs are like a leaf in the wind of change, so better google for robocopy site:microsoft.com)
best wishes,
Harald
