The

XCOPY
options that check the archive status of files. Refer to the
ATTRIB
command description for instructions.
Options
The
/A
copies only source files that have the archive bit set in them. The
archive is not reset.
The
/D<
mm-dd-yy
>
option causes
XCOPY
to copy only those files with a
date later than the date specified in the
/D
option.
The
/E
option causes
XCOPY
to create subdirectories on the target even if they
are empty.
The
/M
option causes
XCOPY
to copy only those source files that have the
archive bit set. Once the source file is copied the archive bit is reset.
The

to prompt before each file is copied. The
prompt appears as follows:
C:\COMMAND.COM (Y/N)?
If a Y is entered then the file is copied, otherwise, the file is not copied.
The
/S
option causes
XCOPY
to copy files in subdirectories of the source
directory.
The
/V
option causes
XCOPY
to verify each write to the disk.

to wait before starting to copy files. The
following prompt is displayed.
