Once you have RoboCopy installed you could use the command below to replicate a folder structure. This tool is also ideal for migrating file servers, as it deals with the security ACLs and locked files. It will scan the folders checking to see if there are any new files and then continue where it left off. Robocopy also has a restart mode that allows you to interrupt a file copy operation and then restart it later on. Robocopy ignores the locked files and continues. If you use the Explorer method and it encounters a locked file, a un-helpful dialog box will be displayed and the file copy process is stopped. The other great thing about the built in tool is its ability to handle files which are locked or files that you don’t have access to. The tool can also make a mirror copy of a set of folders or disk drive. It has the ability to copy file permissions and other file attributes.

Robocopy is a free tool included with Windows (since Windows Vista). It is a command line tool that takes a number of parameters. If you are migrating a file server or just have lots of files to copy from one networked machine to another, instead of using the Windows Explorer method of copying the files, why not use RoboCopy?
