robocopy:tldr:267c3

The provided command uses the "robocopy" utility in Windows to copy files and directories from a source directory to a destination directory. Let's break down the command and its options:

• "robocopy" is the command that initiates the file copying process.
• "${path\to\source_directory}" represents the path to the source directory that you want to copy. Make sure to replace this placeholder with the actual path on your system.
• "${path\to\destination_directory}" represents the path to the destination directory where the files and directories will be copied. Replace this placeholder with the real destination directory path.
• "/E" is a switch that tells robocopy to copy all subdirectories, including empty ones.
• "/XO" is another switch, which means "exclude older." It instructs robocopy to only copy files that are newer or those that don't already exist in the destination directory. This is useful when you want to perform an incremental backup or update an existing copy of files.

Combining all these elements, the command will copy all the files and directories from the source directory to the destination directory, including subdirectories, while excluding any files that are already present in the destination directory and have an older modification date.

Make sure to adjust the source and destination paths according to your requirements to effectively use this command.
