Alan, robocopy is a folder copier. It copies one folder to another folder. The switches allow you to determine what is copied. In your post above
You are copying "Source Folder" to "Destination Folder", both being folders. The switches determine what is copied. a /mir switch will copy the folder and all contents ie. mirror. Of course it copies the files inside the folder. It would make little sense to copy an empty folder without the files and folders inside too.ROBOCOPY "source folder" "destination folder"
The default copy flags is DAT, DCOPY:T copies the directory time stamps. Whether it also copies the Security and attributes, I don't know as I don't use them. My guess is that they would be somewhat different. Every command seems to be somewhat different.
