The <filecopy> configuration setting forces the use of the server-side file copy capability to carry on copy operations. The <filecopy> option is not enabled by default so a user must explicitly enable it in the configuration file in order to use it. When <filecopy> is enabled and conditions do not allow it to be used, the copy operation fails rather than falling back to other copy methods.
The <filecopy> option forces a physical copy of the data and index files. The other copy mechanisms available extract the structure information for the source file, create a new file accordingly with the current ctree.conf settings, and then copy records from the source to the destination (the outcome of this process can be a file which is not identical to the source file, for example it might be compressed when the source was not).
