XCOPY
Copies groups of files. Subdirectories can be included
See also <COPY> <VERIFY> <DISKCOPY>
XCOPY copies groups of files based on various switches. It can copy
entire subdirectory trees and is much more powerful than COPY.
COMMAND TYPE: External VERSION: 3.2 and up
USE: XCOPY [d:][path]filename1 [d:][path][filename2] [/A][/D][/E]
[/M][/P][/S][/V][/W]
or XCOPY [d:] path [filename1] [d:][path][filename2] [/A][/D][/E]
[/M][/P][/S][/V][/W]
or XCOPY d:[path] [filename1] [d:][path][filename2] [/A][/D][/E]
[/M][/P][/S][/V][/W]
d: path filename1 specifies the source drive, path, and filename.
d: path filename2 specifies the destination drive, path, and filename.
/A copies only those files that have been modified since the last
BACKUP /M or XCOPY /M.
/D copies files whose date is equal to or later than the date
specified. If you wish to specify a date, the format is
/D:mm-dd-yy or whatever date format you may have selected using
the <COUNTRY> or <SELECT> commands.
/E causes XCOPY to create subdirectories on the destination drive
as it copies.
/M copies only those files that have been modified since the last
BACKUP /M or XCOPY /M. The /M option is identical to the /A
option except XCOPY /M will reset the flags on those files that
have been modified since the last backup.
/P causes XCOPY to prompt you before copying each file.
/S causes XCOPY to copy files in any subdirectories below the
directory that XCOPY starts in.
/V causes XCOPY to <VERIFY> that the data recorded was recorded
correctly.
/W causes XCOPY to wait for you to insert a disk before beginning.
EXAMPLE: XCOPY C:\ D:\ /S
will copy all files in all directories from drive C: to drive D:.
