Why should you use ROBOCOPY?

Generally when we copy some files from one location to another then only one file is copied at a time. This process is too slow. When you want to copy a big directory then ROBOCOPY can reduce time of copying files.  Integrating multiple thread Robocopy copies numbers of file at the same time.

How does Robocopy work?

ROBOCOPY is a simple DOS command. Open command prompt from Windows 7 start menu or press Win + R  and type “cmd”. The general syntax is
robocopy <Source directory> <Destination directory>
But ROBOCOPY multi-thread property allows you to copy files maximum 120 threads activated at a time. The syntax is
robocopy <Source directory> <Destination directory>  /MT:<Number of threads>
Try Robocopy and let me know if you like it or not.
