Copying BAK file

When I copy a BACKUP using a .cmd file from a command-box in Win2K, like
this:
copy DBF_db_20040602.BAK .
it copies the entire file to the current directory where the cmd-file is
started.
So far so good...
But, when I change the cmd-file to do this:
copy DBF_db_20040602.BAK DBF_newfile.BAK
is only creates a file of only 6k in size. The original file is about 2 Gb
in size.
Anyone knows why this happens?

Sounds strange. I suggest you post this to a windows forum, as likelyhood to find Windows experts should be
higher there... :-)
