Those familiar with the Windows command line are probably we aware of the excellent file copy command ‘XCopy’. What you may not know, is the more robust tool, ‘Robocopy’ is the successor to XCopy which offers a lot of improvements.

While the syntax between XCopy and Robocopy is similar, those not comfortable with the command line may want to shy away from this tool due to the sheer number of options available. No worries, if this is the case then simply download the Robocopy GUI. This free tool takes all the functionality of the Robocopy command line tool and lets you build your instructions in a point and click interface. One of the nice features of Robocopy is the built in scheduling functionality, so you could actually schedule times to copy files straight from this tool.
