For the sake of simplicity, XXCOPY has a basic model of operation:


Source ---> Destination

Both the source and the destination are of single entity.
Deviating from this basic regimen is a formula for a disaster
in XXCOPY. I can't imagine most people would be able to
comprehend the governing rules that will be a result of
adding a multi-source --> Multi-destination capability.

You should instead do so with a batch file (you may make
as fancy as clever as you want).
