Xcopy Command

Do you know what Xcopy does in dos command? It is more powerful than the copy command. If you would like to copy all the files and sub-folders from one drive to another, you may need xcopy command. Of course, you can use windows explorer interface to do it. But if you would like to write batch file, and run from DOS command, Xcopy is very useful.

The below is an example listed from MicroSoft website:
