NEW FEATURES IN THIS VERSION

Restartable Copies :

Specify /Z on the command line and failed file copies will restart from close to the

point of failure, which can save a lot of time for large files. Previous versions of

Robocopy would always restart failed copies from the beginning of the file.

%Copied Progress Indications :

By default, the program now regularly displays %copied during each file copy.

Specify /NP (No Progress) on the command line to turn this feature off.

Wait for sharename creation :

Specify /TBD (sharename To Be Defined) on the command line to request this.

Robocopy will then wait for a sharename to be created by retrying on error 67.

Previous versions would always quit on this error.

Force creation of short file names.

Specify /FAT on the command line to tell Robocopy to create destination files with

names that conform to the traditional 8.3 file name format, rather than long file

names. This can be useful when copying to downlevel file systems.
