    XCOPY copy files or groups of files and folders. Especially useful for copy information to and from a HDD. XCOPY is a powerful copy command to the command of the COPY. It is especially useful when supporting your hard disk. A common use would be the / S option with / D to use the date option to only the files to support since the date of your last file have changed. If you use XCOPY with this intention, you will probably a copy of the program (XCOPY.EXE) in the root folder of your hard drive (remember, when the / S option, XCOPY only copies files of sub directories within the current folder is found) to make.

    Try Robocopy:
    rktools.exe install Example: - Write the appropriate permissions on the Share precipitates Students on FILE SERVER NAME - create Students folder on FILE SERVER NAME and set permissions of the share - you should not run on to any of the Security Permissions worried , because they will be copied over. Syntax:
    Code:
    C:\>robocopy \\FILESERVERNAME\students \\NEWFILESERVERNAME\students /e /zb /copyall

    I don't use an xcopy ... but it appears that the syntax is confusing. *.bak concludes one or more files with a .BAK enlarge. If this is the case then I don 'is t think it' s possible use xcopy to more than one file in another single file copy, which is what is s xcopy to cause the memory to kick. Typically when I order a copy of a source file *. bak was I assume that if you record a folder or a series of files were copied where the destination is *.BKK. I think this is what is s that the confusion caused. I would delete or * in the source file - the name or put * in the destination file - name and / or copying all .bak files to another folder for easy storage and access proposals.
