Robo Copy - A Good Thing that Came with Vista

E-mail Print

Vista was not a well received OS. But like many things in life, Vista did have its bright spots. One of them is an awesome command line utility called "RoboCopy". RoboCopy has been around for a while. It was included with the 2003 server resource kit. Vista was the first desktop version of Windows to have RoboCopy included out of the box. RoboCopy is also included with all versions of Windows 7. 

RoboCopy is going to replace the old DOS xcopy. RoboCopy can do some amazing things, like monitoring a selected path and then automatically backing it up as soon as changes are detected.

In future posts I will go into more detail about RoboCopy and explain how to use it to backup your hard drive.
