Now I will explain how to use the Xcopy command to copy folders and subfolders and their contents from one location to another.
1. Click Start and type cmd in the search box, select Run as administrator.
2. You can type the Xcopy command as below.
3. For example, if you want to copy the “test” folder and its subfolders on the C drive to the D drive, then you should type the Xcopy command as:
Xcopy C:\test D:\test /E /H /C /I
● /E – Copy subdirectories, including any empty ones.
● /H - Copy files with hidden and system file attributes
● /C - Continue copying even if an error occurs.
● /I - If in doubt, always assume the destination is a folder. e.g. when the destination does not exist.
Next, I will explain how to use the Robocopy command to transfer files from one location to another.
1. Also open cmd, here, we transfer two files: a-test.docx, and b-test.txt from E:\backuptest to F:\backuptest1 as an example.
2. You can type the Robocopy command as below:
robocopy E:\backuptest F:\backuptest1 a-test.docx b-test.txt
#xcopy
#robocopy
