That's also an excellent solution, with the -recurse parameter. If you care
about preserving file attributes, permissions, etc., this may not be what
you need.

You can also use the copy items syntax from Powershell. That's what I would
do.

Thanks,
These switches made the difference. I'm also interested in trying out
robocopy. Thanks for the help everyone.

Try this below. The description of the flags is below.
xcopy c:\ d:\ /h/i/c/k/e/r/y
In this command data will be copied from c:\ to D:\, even folders and system
files as well. Here's what the flags do:
list of 7 items
* /h copies hidden and system files also
* /i if destination does not exist and copying more than one file, assume
that destination must be a directory
* /c continue copying even if error occurs
* /k copies attributes
* /e copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones
* /r overwrites read-only files
* /y suppress prompting to confirm whether you want to overwrite a file list
end
Best,
Billy

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Xcopy question
Hello everyone,
I use a bat file with an xcopy command to copy the contents of a folder on
one nas drive to another. It does not tseem to copy new sub folders. My
command line is as follows with I believe appropriate switches. Is xcopy
the best route to go for this kind of procedure. I try to run the command
every month or so to get a backup of my main utilities folder. It's around
150 Gb. New files within existing folders copy no problem but new
subfolders and their contents do not. they seem to just get ignored.
Thanks for any advice.
xcopy "x:\utilities\*.*" y:\utilities\" /s /d /c /y
Troy
