Is robocopy part of Windows XP or does it require a separate install?
It seems that robocopy and xxcopy are similar. Let's say I've got an
updated music folder on drive H and an outdated music folder (some new
files not there) on drive I. What command would I use to update the
drive I folder to the drive H one?
You'd do:
robocopy /mir h:\source i:\dest
The "/mir" switch tells it to delete files in the destination folder
that have been deleted from the source folder. There are other ways to
run robocopy such that it only copies/updates, but doesn't delete.
Depends on what you want. I always run it as above so I keep a perfect
mirror copy.

Don't let the name fool you -- it works fine with XP Home as well.
