Windows Vista includes the ROBOCOPY (Robust File Copy) utility that can do
this very easily. Open a command prompt and type ROBOCOPY /? for help.

Hi,

I want to copy a bunch of docus in my files to a backup space, but I do
not simply want to replace all duplicate files with the ones I am
copying, I want it to work out which of the 2 files has been changed the
most recently and keep that one. I know I can keep a copy of both, but
there are just WAY too many files and I don't want to keep copies.

Does vista have the ability to do this?
