zcopy

.NET command-line file copy application.

Examples

(see below for all command-line options)

This example recursively copies all files not matching the *.png or *.mp3 wildcard patterns. The copy speed is displayed in MB/s.

C:\> zcopy \\dc01\Company F:\CompanyData -r -xf=*.png,*.mp3 -uom=MB

This example copies all ShadowProtect files. The MD5 checksum of the source and target files are calculated a compared. The checksum of the source is calculated during the copy operation. Once complete, the target file is hashed.

C:\> zcopy \\nas01\backups F:\backupImages *b00?*.* -md5

This example recursively copies all files from the source directory. Nested directories with the Hidden or ReparsePoint file attributes will not be copied/scanned. Files are copied simultaneously in multiple threads. Note that the output changes when -mt is specified.

C:\> zcopy C:\users\zack D:\MyProfileData -r -mt -da=HR!
