 ====== Using robocopy ======
+Robocopy is a Windows command line tool that can be used to robustly copy files. It's a bit similar to ''rsync'' on UNIX platforms.
 ===== To mirror a folder =====
-<code>
+<code batch>
 robocopy C:\Folder1\ D:\Folder2\ /MIR /XO
 </code>
 Meaning of the options:
-  * ''/MIR'': Mirrors the source to the destination. This also deletes files and directories from the destination that do not exist in the source!
+  * ''/MIR'': Mirrors the source to the destination. \\ :!: This also deletes files and directories from the destination that do not exist in the source!
-  * /''XO'': Do not recopy older files. If the destination has a file with a date equal or newer to the source, the source file is not copied again.
+  * ''/XO'': Do not recopy older files. If the destination has a file with a date equal or newer to the source, the source file is not copied again.
