rktools.exe contains a bunch of very good command line and scripts

robocopy.exe

robocopy C:\foo C:\bar /COPYALL /E /R:0

Copy directory recursively (/E), and copy all file information (/COPYALL, equivalent to /COPY:DATSOU, D=Data, A=Attributes, T=Timestamps, S=Security=NTFS ACLs, O=Owner info, U=aUditing info), do not retry locked files (/R:0). Note directory Timestamps will not be reset if using a Robocopy version older than XP026:

robocopy c:\source e:\destination /DCOPY:T /COPYALL /MOVE /R:1 /W:2 /E

copy all = preserve permissions + date + file info r:1 = only retry locked files once w:1 = wait 1 second on locked files E = recurisve

NOTE: THERE'S the microsoft website robocopy version XP010 which DOES NOT do dcopy:t

you must download the robocopy /? (version = XP026)

robocopy c:\source e:\destination /DCOPY:T /COPYALL /MOVE /R:1 /W:2 /E
