I can't remember any xcopy options (for I did every copying in dos with norton commander), so I looked them up.

DOS 6.22 on-screen help says that the options are:

/Y
overwrite without confirmation
/-Y
ask for confirmation when overwriting files (use if you have /Y in $ENV{COPYCMD})
/A
copy only files with the Archive attribute set
/M
copy only files with the Archive attribute set, and turn off the Archive attribute of sources
/D:date
copy files modified since date
/P
prompt for confirmation for every file
/S
recursive, but don't copy empty subdirs
/E
recursive
/V
verify that the file is written correctly
/W
prompt for confirmation once, before starting to copy the files (dunno what that's for).
