    Syntax - XCOPY source pathname [target pathname] [/A] [/D:date] [/E] [/M]
             [/P] [/S] [/V] [/W]

    (External) Copies files and directories, including subdirectories.  You
    can use XCOPY to backup between two different disk drive types or media
    types.

            source pathname is the drive, directories, and/or file you
                    wish to copy.

            target pathname is the drive, directories, and/or file to copy
                    to.  If you omit this parameter, XCOPY copies to the
                    current directory.  The default filename is *.* (ALL)

            /A      copies only files that have an archive bit set, without
                    modifying the archive bit.

            /D:date copies only files modified on or after the specified
                    date.

            /E      copies any empty subdirectories.  You can use this switch
                    only with /S.

            /M      copies only files that have an archive bit set, and
                    modifies the source file by turning off the archive bit.

            /P      displays a Y/N? prompt for each source file before
                    copying it.

            /S      copies directories and subdirectories, unless they are
                    empty.  If you omit /S, XCOPY works within a single
                    directory.

            /V      verifies each target file as it is written to be sure
                    it is identical to the source file.

            /W      waits to begin the XCOPY.  At the message, press any key
                    to continue, or press [CTRL] [C] to cancel XCOPY.

    Example:
            xcopy a:  b: /s /e.
