Robocopy, while useful, does not have very many of the features of rsync, apart from retries.

But with all the problems of rsync and cygwin on Windows, Robocopy is the more logical choice for such tasks. I'm not going to load up explorer.exe in WINE on Linux so I can move some files around with the mouse.

True, Rsync has more features, but Robocopy is still a very useful tool. And it has been included in Windows since Vista.
