CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 372

A desktop technician is responsible for the OS migration of 300 end users. As part of the migration, the technician must save the end users' data to a temporary shared drive. The data must include any hidden files to ensure 100% of the data is retained. Which of the following commands will achieve this result by default?

Answer options

• A. robocopy
• B. copy
• C. xcopy
• D. cp

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct command is 'robocopy' because it is designed for robust data copying, including hidden files by default. The 'copy' command does not copy hidden files, while 'xcopy' requires specific flags to include hidden files and 'cp' is not a native Windows command for this purpose.
