File copy occupies a lot of our time and effort every day. While this is manageable for limited files but not when there are multiple files (sometimes running to thousands).
It takes a lot of time and effort to find, sort, select, and copy files. Also, if the file with the same name already exists, it becomes even more tiring to find it and replace it with the latest version of that file. It is therefore wiser to copy only new or modified files.
It would be best if you left out the idea of doing this manually. You can try doing this using commands like Robocopy or Xcopy. Or use a file copy software that will do it easily and quickly for you. But not every software offers this feature, and even if it does, it cannot with the required flexibility and speed.
We therefore bring a file copy software that will do it for you in just a few minutes: Copywhiz. Using Copywhiz, copy only files that have been recently modified, leaving out the older ones completely.
Let us first see how to do this using Robocopy and then using Copywhiz, so that you can decide it yourself.
What is Copywhiz?
Copywhiz enhances your file-copy experience by letting you to have more flexibility & control over the file copying and backup process.
Steps to copy only changed files (new and modified)
Using Robocopy
The Robocopy command Robocopy Source [Destination] /XO :[YYYYMMDD] copies all Source files changed on or after the specified date only. This command-line option allows you to update files that have changed.
For Ex: To copy all the files in the directory ‘E:data’ that are modified on or after 1 st January 2018 to the folder ‘E:\backup’, the following command line will be used:
However, commands like Robocopy are not that easy. System administrators may be able to use it. But ordinary users will find it difficult. Instead, I will show you how to do it very quickly/easily using Copywhiz.
Using Copywhiz
Here is a short video that depicts how to do it easily in Windows using Copywhiz:
Transcription:
Right-click on the folder from which only new or modified files need to be copied and choose Copywhiz–>Copy from the menu.
Go to the destination folder, right-click on it and select Copywhiz–>Paste Special- ->Paste only new & modified files.
If the same folder already exists in the destination, then only new or modified files will be replaced, others will be skipped, saving a lot of time.
That’s it in this video.

Alternatively, you can copy files based on specific dates (date modified, date created, date accessed).

This post will help you in excluding certain files of your choice from being copied.
Why exclude specific files?
By default, any copy program will copy everything (all the files) from the folder that you specify as the source. But, at times, we would like to filter and include only specific files. For Ex: Copy only pictures and not videos, only source code files and not object files, all documents except PDF files, and so on.

Taking regular backups of your files is a really good habit.
But do you take advantage of incremental backups when backing up your files?
The Incremental Backup concept
An incremental backup is a type of backup that only copies files that have changed since the previous backup.
For example, if a full backup is performed today, the next incremental backup will only take all changed files since today’s backup. This helps reduce the time spent on taking backups and avoiding the repetition of files with the same content.
In this post, we will show you how to do incremental backup using Copywhiz.
What is Copywhiz?
Copywhiz enhances your file-copy experience by letting you to have more flexibility & control over the file copying and backup process.
Go to Windows File Explorer, select the files from the source folder, right-click and choose Copywhiz–>Copy as shown below:
Right-click inside the destination folder where you wish to copy the files and select Copywhiz–>Paste Advanced:
Copywhiz Window will open. Click on ‘Advanced Settings’ button and select “Automatically identify & paste only new or modified files” and click ‘OK’:
Click on “Paste Now,” and your files copy instantly. You can click on “Paste later” so that your files will be scheduled for copying later. Useful for backups.
That’s it. Incremental backups is very straightforward using Copywhiz.
We often spend a lot of our precious time in copying the same set of files every day or every few days to take backups. It would be very convenient if we could copy only those files that have been newly added or recently modified after a particular day or date.
This is a tedious task if done manually. Therefore let us look at how this is possible using Robocopy and an alternative software Copywhiz, which does the same thing in a much user friendly manner.

Steps to copy newer files based on date

For Ex: To copy all the files in the directory ‘E:\data’ that have been added or modified on or after 1st JAN 2018 to the folder ‘E:\backup’, the following command line will be used:
Robocopy / E:\data E:\backup/MAXAGE:20180101

During our file copy, we would sometimes not want files that are too large, or sometimes we may require only large files to be copied. Whatever may be the case, the basic idea is to select the files you want to copy only based on their sizes.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could do that without much time and effort? Instead of copying all the files and later deleting the ones not required, you can just skip copying files not required altogether.
This post will show you how to copy files only of the size (small or large) you want, allowing you to exclude files not needed. Let us look at how this is possible with Windows Robocopy tool and an alternative software Copywhiz.
What is Copywhiz?
Copywhiz enhances your file-copy experience by letting you to have more flexibility & control over the file copying and backup process.
The Robocopy command Robocopy source [destination] /max:n lets you set the maximum limit on a file size. Which means files larger than the mentioned size would not be copied.
Similarly, the command Robocopy source [destination] /min:n lets you set the minimum file size limit so that files smaller than the mentioned size would not be copied.
For e.x: to exclude files larger than 10 KB when copying files from “projects” folder to “backup” folder, you will apply the following command :
Robocopy d:\temp\projects e:\backup /xf max:10kb
Similarly for ex: to exclude files smaller than 10 KB when copying files from “projects” folder to “backup” folder , you will apply the Command :
Robocopy d:\temp\projects e:\backup /xf min:10kb
However, these Robocopy commands are quite difficult to understand and use by ordinary users. Only system administrators find it easy.
Let me show you a more comfortable and straightforward method.

One thing about Windows file copy is that it will continuously need your attention if there are duplicate files if a file is in use or if there is any other error.
When you are seriously working on an important task (while a background file copy is going on) and suddenly, if an error popup box appears, the whole flow of work gets disturbed. We have to stop working and attend to these messages. This is why you would wish to stop those messages from popping up or let the error get resolved silently without disturbing your work.
Here I will show how you can use Copywhiz to suppress all the message prompts, error boxes and continue with file copy. Later you can verify the error log to check if there are any errors. It is beneficial when taking backups and when you wish to copy files silently.
What is Copywhiz?

The most common message you get is that a file already exists with the same name. Copywhiz can replace duplicate files automatically once pre-configured. Also, it will show you a list of errors (if any) after the file copy operation is complete.

Many times we have all our music and pictures scattered in different folders that we may want to store into a single folder. You might want to pick only specific types of files and copy all of them in one folder. Say your favorite songs and personal pictures.
But you always have to follow the tedious process of copy, paste, copy, paste and repeat it several times, which is very time-consuming.
This post will explain how to copy files from different folders in different places into a single folder or destination.
