that exist on both disks but are in an updated version on the

source disk.

already in the REPORTS directory of drive C.

directory on drive C if they are not there already. You will be

prompted to confirm each file to be copied.

REPLACE A:*.TXT C:\TEXT/D

copies only those files with a .TXT extension on drive A that are

newer than the files in the TEXT directory on drive C.
