CompTIA A+ 220-1102 Practice Question

robocopy C:\Source D:\Destination /E /COPY:DAT - This is correct. The robocopy command is designed for advanced file copying, and the /E switch ensures all subdirectories are included, even empty ones. The /COPY:DAT switch ensures the file attributes (data, attributes, and timestamps) are preserved. It ensures the destination matches the source, including any new files not already present.

xcopy C:\Source D:\Destination /E /I - While xcopy can copy files and subdirectories (/E), it does not preserve attributes as comprehensively as robocopy and lacks robust options for ensuring complete synchronization between source and destination.

copy C:\Source D:\Destination /V - The copy command is a basic tool for copying files. The /V switch verifies the copied files but does not preserve file attributes or handle subdirectories effectively, making it unsuitable for maintaining attributes or syncing a source and destination.

robocopy C:\Source D:\Destination /S /MOVE - The /S switch copies subdirectories but excludes empty ones, which may not meet the requirement to ensure all files and directories are preserved. Additionally, the /MOVE switch moves files rather than copying them, which might not be the intended behavior.
