X C O P Y
The XCOPY command copies multiple files and, optionally, subdirectories
from one disk to another.
Syntax
XCOPY source [destination] [/A | /M] [/D[:date]] [/P] [/S [/E]] [/W] [/Y | /-
Y]
Remarks
Use the XCOPY command to copy multiple files and subdirectories, if
they exist.
The source and destination parameters are complete drive-path and file-
specification descriptions. If you do not specify a path, XCOPY assumes
the default path. If either
filename is not specified, then *.* is assumed.
The ATTRIB command may be used to modify the archive bit for the
various XCOPY options that check the archive status of files. Refer to
the ATTRIB command
on page 5-3 description for instructions.
Options
The /A option copies only source files that have the archive bit set in
them. The archive is not reset.
The /D: mm-dd-yy option copies only those files with a date later than
that specified.
The /E option creates subdirectories on the target even if they are empty.
The /M option copies only those source files that have the archive bit set.
Once the source file is copied, the archive bit is reset.
The /P option prompts before each file is copied. The prompt appears as
follows; enter Y to copy the file:
C:\COMMAND.COM (Y/N)?
