I use xcopy and batch scripting to backup newer files xcopy "src" "dest" /O /X /E /H /K /I /D. I was asked if I want to replace something which should not happen. So I did the copy process manually and found the following
How can these two filenames be equal?

ADVANC~2(2).PDF is a long filename (no 8.3 notation). It is the copy of the 8.3 notated file ADVANC~2.PDF and became this way a file with a long name.
What is its 8.3 name?
use:
dir /x ADVANC~2 (2).PDF
The 8.3 name will be most likely ADVANC~4.PDF
These are the limitations of the 8.3 / long filename mix.
