  1. Copying method something similar to xcopy?


    Hi,I need to backup only new files brand new files, or files which have newer modification date.Normally, my lovely old fashion XCOPY /d /s is meeting my need 100% for many many years.But I have problem with that because of some long sub folders + file names I get in sufficient memory error.Is there another way in Windows 10, to backup the similar logic of Xcopy i.e., it will compare source and the target and copy only - new created files - and files which have newer modification date.- and I will see the target in the regular folder by folder, file by file format not a zipped or simila

    XCopy not working on Win10

    Hi,

    There is a thread on this topic but it doesn't show a resolution.

    Has something changed where xcopy doesn't work on Win10?

    I am looking to copy files and I can't get even the simpliest .bat file to work. Copying 1 file to another folder on the C directory.

    @EchoOff xcopy C:\files\test.bat C:\files-to\

    Any suggestions are appreciated!

    thanks,

    joan
