Explanation
XCOPY /E copies a directory tree including all subdirectories and, critically, empty subdirectories. The /E switch is specifically designed to include empty folders, which is the key requirement in this scenario. XCOPY without /E would skip empty directories. COPY /A is for file copying with ASCII text handling and cannot replicate directory structures. ATTRIB /S changes file attributes recursively but does not copy. RD /S removes directories-it is a deletion command, not a copy command.
