I have found a great tool for file copy, called Robocopy (Robust File Copy)

It is free and forms part of the Windows Resource Kit.

Why do i think it’s so great?

a. Run from command line or Gui interface for maximum flexibility.
b. Use to Mirror File systems for backup or disaster recovery.
c. Full logging of the file copy process - Important
d. Unlike DFS, which is un-reliable and has no real logging, Robocopy can be used to mirror data across sites. By using basic commands only copy changes across the line, only run at certain times, exclude files and more…
e. Copying files exactly including NTFS security.

Check out this document for full command line usage.
