Perplexity said use xcopy - that did not work. Brave Search suggested robocopy. Has anyone had experience with this? 00:14:57 Bill Van Dijk: I use robocopy for all my backups. It is fast, and does not crash on big jobs. Lots of options, but it has a bit of a learning curve. Warning: It can also delete files. 00:17:54 Chris Taylor, President OPCUG: 7 Computing Urban Myths https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6dKHuFiQcQ&t=19s 00:26:19 Tom Trottier: The Microsoft answer is "Buy a new PC" 00:27:42 Bob Herres: MS CoPilot allows you to Upload files too..
