One reply on “How to make file copy faster with Robocopy in windows vista”
The GUI seems to add Robocopy XP026 to the system32 directory when used in XP.
The version of Robocopy that comes with Vista is XP027 (and XP028 in SP1 and 2008), if I remember correctly.
As they have slightly different switches and abilities, is it safe using the GUI on Vista?
