xcopy and don't overwrite if files exists

[rmeyerowitz]

Hi,

I am trying to copy files and if they exist I don't want to overwrite them with xcopy. This is my command
xcopy "c:\Photo Albums\*.*" "K:\Photo Albums\*.*" /s

I know that you add a /Y it will overwrite files without prompting but how do I get it NOT to overwrite files wihtout prompting.

Use the resource kit utility ROBOCOPY instead. It is a free download from Microsoft. Not only does it give you the choice to not overwrite a file if it already exists, but it can also do a compare and only replace the file if it is new or modified.

I hope you find this post helpful. Please let me know if it was.
