Which Windows command tool is used for copying files and directories with options like preserving file attributes, copying subdirectories, and allowing for the copying of files only if they are newer than the destination files, and is known for being available since older versions of Windows?
XCopy is a a Windows command tool that is utilized for copying files and directories.
Robocopy is another valid option with similar features.
Unlike the simpler "copy" command, "xcopy" offers advanced options such as the ability to preserve file attributes, copy subdirectories, and selectively copy files only if they are newer than their counterparts in the destination. This makes "xcopy" a more versatile and feature-rich tool for efficient file management and backup operations in comparison to the basic "copy" command.
