Why

Robocopy is the file copy and backup tool built into Windows, and it is the best one there is, but nobody remembers its switches. Robo-XCopy is a free, open-source graphical front end (GUI) for it: copy, mirror, move or back up folders from a retro Amiga X-Copy style screen, with the exact command shown every time. See the how-to for the details.

Features

One ~5 MB .exe. No installer, no runtime to install.
Dry run (/L) to preview before you copy.
Mirror, move, multi-thread, retries, restartable and backup mode, excludes.
Live progress on the classic track grids.
Optional log file, saved wherever you choose.
Knows when it needs administrator rights and offers to restart elevated.
Two themes: Modern Amiga and Classic X-Copy.
Works on any Windows language.

Screenshots

Robo-XCopy with the Modern Amiga theme: blue screen, orange values, track grids filling up during a copy — Modern Amiga: the default theme.

Robo-XCopy with the Classic X-Copy theme: black screen, silver frames, green values and zero marks in the track grids — Classic X-Copy: black, silver and green, like the original screen.

Install

Download RoboXCopy.exe from the latest release and run it. Windows only. New here? Read the how-to.

Code signing policy: Robo-XCopy is applying for free open source code signing from SignPath Foundation (free code signing provided by SignPath.io). Until it is active the downloads are not signed; each release has its SHA-256 and a build attestation. The policy also explains how releases are built and what the program does with your data.

Heads up: Mirror mode deletes files from the destination that are not in the source. Do a dry run first.

Support

Robo-XCopy is free and open source. If it saved you some time, a coffee is always welcome.
