copying all contents of folder to another folder using batch file?

Question

I have a folder in C:\\Folder1

I want to copy all the contents of Folder1 to another location, D:\\Folder2

How do I do

Answer 1

Here's a solution with robocopy which copies the content of Folder1 into Folder2 going trough all subdirectories and automatically overwriting the files with the same name:

robocopy C:\Folder1 C:\Folder2 /COPYALL /E /IS /IT

Here:

/COPYALL copies all file information
/E copies subdirectories including empty directories
/IS includes the same files
/IT includes modified files with the same name

For more parameters see the official documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/robocopy

Note: it can be necessary to run the command as administrator, because of the argument /COPYALL. If you can't: just get rid of it.
