As you can see in the sample code, Xcopy32 introduces many useful switches that didn\u2019t exist in its DOS predecessor. These are the most important ones:
\n\u2022\u00b7 \/d\u2014This switch copies all source files that are newer than existing destination files. It allows you to update only files that have changed, making the process a lot faster.
\n\u2022\u00b7 \/c\u2014This command-line option ignores errors. You don\u2019t want one corrupted file to halt the automated copying.
\n\u2022\u00b7 \/s\u2014This option copies directories and subdirectories.
\n\u2022\u00b7 \/r\u2014This switch copies read-only files.
\n\u2022\u00b7 \/y\u2014Use this switch to overwrite files without prompting. You don’t want any user intervention to be required.
\n\u2022\u00b7 \/i\u2014Use this option to automatically create new folders on destination.<\/p>\n
The > d:mirrorxcopy.log suffix creates a log file with all of XCopy\u2019s messages, for later reference and troubleshooting. Using >> appends a file to an existing log rather than creating a new one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
