Christian,

> Should PostgreSQL maybe provide its own file-copy utility for Windows that

>
> Microsoft does provide an enterprise-ready webscale 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
