Robocopy (Robust File Copy) is a powerful Windows command-line tool used to copy files and folders faster and more reliably than the normal copy/paste.
It can resume broken transfers, skip unchanged files, and mirror entire directories.
Great for backups or moving large amounts of data.

Question. Can it copy larg file that like 30 to 40 GB to fat32 usb ?
