- Rename destination file with Robocopy
- Posted by WB on March 27th, 2008
Is there any way to have robocopy name a destination file different from the
source? For example, if I want to copy c:\Temp\temp.log to c:\Temp\temp.bak.
So far I can't see any way of performing this simple operation. Does
robocopy actually not allow this?
Thanks,

No, you cannot do this with robocopy.exe. Use copy or xcopy
instead.

Have a look at the command syntax for robocopy. With
this syntax it is simply not possible to accommodate your
wish. However, since there are several alternatives, this
is not really a problem.
