XCOPY
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, Xcopy is command used for copying multiple files or entire directory trees from one directory to another and for copying files across a network. Xcopy stands for extended copy,[1] and was created as a more functional file copying utility than the copy tool found in MS-DOS. Xcopy is also available on Microsoft Windows.
The command is equivalent to the Unix command cp when used with -a or -p parameters.

While still included in Windows Vista, Xcopy has been deprecated in favor of Robocopy, which is now built into the operating system.[2]
