I want to combine the distinct files and, of the dups, keep the newer one. Does "xcopy" still exists on W10 ? If so : /D copy only newer files (use "xcopy /?" to get the whole list) Regards, Rudy Wieser Nice one, I forgot about it, and it is still in Windows 10 too. Yes, often simple is better. I got a headache from looking at robocopy and then just used 'xcopy /D' (with some other 'switches' thrown in) for making incremental 'backup' (actually an archive copy) of a source tree. OTOH, if you're familiar with robocopy, xcopy might look 'weird'. |
