I need some help with robocopy, hopefully someone will know.

Scenario,

External HDD contains files (D:\folder for example)

Internal HDD contains files but some maybe older/newer than that on external HDD. (C:\folder for example)

I want to use robocopy to copy from the external HDD, those files which are newer than those currently stored on the internal HDD only, leaving the newer files intact.

Just need help regarding the command line switches really.

/xo is the switch for "exclude older files" isn't it?

it is, but there is also XC and XN for changed and newer files. I am all confused, because I dont want to write over the files on the internal HDD that are new than the external ones at all.

Dunno if you already have this PDF?

(bear in mind its for the XP10 version)

Newer The source file has a later time stamp than the destination file. The

file is copied; to skip this file, use /XN.

newer The source file has a later time stamp than the destination file. The

file is skipped; to copy this file, omit /XN.

Older The source file has an earlier time stamp than the destination file.

The file is copied; to skip this file, use /XO.

older The source file has an earlier time stamp than the destination file.
