I'm trying to back up a hard drive partition with

zip -rSv9$ N:\H\DriveH.zip h:\*

and zip keeps failing part way through with this error message:

zip I/O error: Disk full
zip error: Output file write failure (write error on zip file)
errorlevel 14

where error 14 according to the manual is "error writing to a file"

but none of my disks are full (still have several GB of free space on
the target drive) and usually the file zip is compressing at the time of
the error is quite small.

The error occurs on different files on each run, but approximately in
the same location. I can separately zip up the file on which the error
occurs, and I can separately zip up the directory in which the error
occurs, so the error isn't caused by a specific file. No other
application has given me any i/o error messages. I'm using Daniela's
DANIS506.ADD and her DiskInfo.exe utility shows no cumulative errors.
I've run the zip with drive and memory monitors and I have plenty of
free disk space and free memory.

I'm using the 1-09-00 version of zip.exe (as far as I know that's the
most recent version).

I suppose zip could be reaching a 2 GB threshhold and "thinks" the disk
is full. Anybody have any ideas on what I should look for?
