Use robocopy to copy files when performance and security are required.

*'''robocopy <source> <destination>'''

use /e for all directories recursively
use /mir if you want all the files to match from source to destination (will delete any files not the same)

===Clone Disk===

If you need to clone a disk make sure to copy all permissions and attributes of the files with all folders from the root directory:
*'''robocopy <source> <destination> /copyall /e /xd "System Volume Information" /log:<log_file_path> /mt'''
*'''robocopy F:\ G:\ /copyall /e /xd "System Volume Information" /log:C:\temp\logfile.log /mt'''

===Large Data Transfer===

When transferring large amounts of files make sure to use the '''/mt''' switch to enable multi threaded performance. The default is for 8 threads but you can specify more with a number after the switch: '''/mt:16''' for 16 threads etc.
