Is XY capable of deep copying?

When performing certain file management tasks - particularly involving system and network files - care has to be taken that when a file/folder/tree is copied, the permissions, ownership, ACL, and audit information is preserved.

Ordinarly, this would involve using a command prompt command:


xcopy <source> <destination> /e /h /k /o /x

/E - Copies folders and subfolders, including empty ones.
/H - Copies hidden and system files also.
/K - Copies attributes. Typically, Xcopy resets read-only attributes.
/O - Copies file ownership and ACL information.
/X - Copies file audit settings (implies /O).



Does XY have the ability to duplicate this functionality?
