RoboCopy - A bit ike RSync for Windows

Someone posted a pointer to Robocopy on our Local Linux list today. Its a bit like RSync for Windows file shares. Runs on Windows machines.

Robust File and Folder Copy.
By default Robocopy will only copy a file if the source and destination have different time stamps or different file sizes.

    The only missing feature of RoboCopy is the client/server feature of transfering only different portions of files already existing at destination. Only changes at block level are sent. This is enormously useful for large files, especially over slow networks, for remote backup.
