SYMPTOMS

If you use the Copy Web command to add a Web to an existing Web, any files in the destination Web with the same name as files in the Web being copied will be replaced.

WORKAROUND

To prevent files from being overwritten, change any duplicate file names in the Web being copied before you use the Copy Web command.
