Copying files and overwriting older files

Asked By anonymous 7060 points N/A Posted on - 07/10/2014

Many years ago there used to be a DOS utility called vcopy which was similar to the DOS copy command but allowed you to copy files and overwrite existing files with the same name only if the files being copied were newer datewise. Is there any similar utility now in windows ?

Copying files and overwriting older files

There are several options nowadays. The only one I've used is FastCopy:

It is free. If it doesn't suit your needs, here are a list of alternatives. I can't endorse any one, so use them at your own risk.

Remember to always create a system restore point before using such utilities in case something goes wrong.
