xcopy question

[KDawg44]

Hi,

I have a server that a bunch of people access. They have read access
to a folder. I have another server that a small group accesses and
stores image files on. I have a batch file that uses xcopy to copy
the files up to the first server once a week. My question is: is
there a switch so that xcopy only copies the files that have changed?
or does it do this by default?

Thanks.

Kevin

Have a look at the output from xcopy /? | more. You will want one
of the first three switches. My favourite is the third.

Thanks! Got what I needed.
