if you don't want to remove the alias use:

/bin/cp foo foo1

or, if that doesn't work (which it works for me), use:

/bin/cp -f foo foo1

Both of these have been recommended already and should work. This does not
work?

Specifying the /bin path says for this execution only, do not use the
aliased version.
