    Syntax

    XCOPY source [destination] [/A | /M] [/D[:date]] [/P] [/S [/E]] [/W]
    [/C] [/I] [/Q] [/F] [/L] [/H] [/R] [/T] [/U]
    [/K] [/N]


    source Specifies the file(s) to copy.
    destination Specifies the location and/or name of new files.
    /A Copies files with the archive attribute set, doesn't change the attribute.
    /M Copies files with the archive attribute set, turns off the archive attribute.
    /D:date Copies files changed on or after the specified date. If no date is given, copies only those files whose source time is newer than the destination time.
    /P Prompts you before creating each destination file.
    /S Copies directories and sub directories except empty ones.
    /E Copies directories and sub directories, including empty ones. Same as /S /E. May be used to modify /T.
    /W Prompts you to press a key before copying.
    /C Continues copying even if errors occur.
    /I If destination does not exist and copying more than one file, assumes that destination must be a directory.
    /Q Does not display file names while copying.
    /F Displays full source and destination file names while copying.
    /L Displays files that would be copied.
    /H Copies hidden and system files also.

    /U Updates the files that already exist in destination.
    /K Copies attributes. Normal Xcopy will reset read-only attributes.
    /Y Overwrites existing files without prompting.
    /-Y Prompts you before overwriting existing files.
