Using xcopy and NOT overwriting the destination files

G

Guest

If I wish to copy ALL files, directories, and sub-directories from one location to another where the basic directory and files structure already exists, how do I do it so as NOT to overwrite the destination files that exist. In other words, I want to only copy the source files that do NOT exist in the destination and the source directories and sub-directories that do NOT exist in the destination. All else should be left alone..

Try Robocopy.exe especially if you want to keep the files the same in both
locations.
