Introduction to the quick file copy tool robocopy in windows, robocopy supports more important file copy tasks, which can truly simplify your work. I think the biggest benefit you will find is that you can create two file structures (you can choose to include all subfolders and files) without copying any unnecessary files. Only copy new or updated files from the source location. Robocopy also allows you to retain all relevant file information, including the date and time stamp, security access control list (ACL), and more.
Of course, we all like to perform operations in a variety of other ways. Some people prefer to use command lines. For these people, the tools attached to robocopy are great. However, some people prefer to operate with the mouse. For these people, they can use the robocopy GUI.
Robocopy GUI allows you to specify the Source Path and target path, as well as any custom options or filters to be used. These are all functions that you can indeed execute using the traditional robocopy command line function, but many of these functions have been merged into the graphical interface to truly simplify the operation.
The robocopy GUI also extends the functions of the existing robocopy tool in some interesting ways. For example, this tool supports multithreading, allowing you to create and execute a robocopy script, and then create another script while the script is still being executed. It also allows you to save scripts (even if you have not actually executed them) so that you can create a Universal Script library or share it with your colleagues. Most importantly, the robocopy GUI allows you to save your default settings, so you do not need to start from the beginning each time.
The robocopy GUI contains a Help file and a complete robocopy reference guide. This reference includes all the indexes of all the robocopy commands and syntaxes to help you determine the settings you want to use.
