XCOPY Alternatives for Linux
XCOPY is not available for Linux but there are some alternatives that runs on Linux with similar functionality. The best Linux alternative is rsync, which is both free and Open Source. If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked more than 10 alternatives to XCOPY and six of them are available for Linux so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. Other interesting Linux alternatives to XCOPY are Ultracopier (Freemium, Open Source), SuperCopier (Free, Open Source), lsyncd (Free, Open Source) and Zaloha_Snapshot.sh (Free, Open Source).

Discontinued
The official website states "Deprecated, use Ultracopier".
SuperCopier 1.4.0.8 was built 2016-01-02. - Lsyncd watches a local directory trees event monitor interface (inotify or fsevents). It aggregates and combines events for a few seconds and then spawns one (or more) process(es) to synchronize the changes. By default this is rsync.No screenshots yet
- Zaloha_Snapshot is an add-on script to Zaloha to create hardlink-based snapshots of the backup directory (condition: hardlinks must be supported by the underlying filesystem type). This allows to create Time Machine-like backup solutions.
- Zaloha is a small and simple directory synchronizer: * Zaloha is a BASH script that uses only FIND, SORT and AWK. * All you need is the Zaloha.sh file (contains ~76 kB of program code and ~78 kB of documentation).
