I want to do something like this https://www.ubackup.com/synchronization/robocopy-two-way-sync-8523.html I got the impression that robocopy is syncing.
That is it looks like if the file is older or newer and always replace older files with newer files.
However, others say that robocopy is copying file. So file in destination will be replaced whether it's newer or older
Which one is right?
I am thinking of using /e and /z parameter but nothing in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/robocopy
says whether /e and /z means they are syncing or copying.
Microsoft official page says they're copying. Nothing in that page says that robocopy will check first if the file on the destination is older or newer.
I used robocopy once and sometimes I got things like skipped, older, and newer.
I can understand replacing old copies with "newer" copies but older?
I did some bat files
robocopy "arbitrage3" "arbitrage4" /e /z
robocopy "arbitrage4" "arbitrage3" /e /z
echo Sync Complete
pause (It prevents the console window from closing after executing the command.)

Some comments say that only difference between robocopy and normal copy is that robocopy skip similar files (with same date and size). What about if source is older in the source file, will it replace the newer file in the destination?
If robocopy skip similar files then the only difference between robocopy and normal copy is the speed of copying.
A comment says I need to add /xo to exclude older files but it's not specified anywhere. Obviously if I want to sync I got to add /xo so the newer file "prevail" whether it's in destination or in the source.
But nothing clearly says that. This links doesn't say it https://www.ubackup.com/synchronization/robocopy-two-way-sync-8523.html
