Copy method of the CIM_DeviceFile class

The Copy method copies the logical file (or directory) specified in the object path to the location specified by the input parameter. A copy is not supported if it requires overwriting an existing logical file. This method is inherited from CIM_LogicalFile.

Important

The DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) CIM (Common Information Model) classes are the parent classes upon which WMI classes are built. WMI currently supports only the CIM 2.x version schemas.

This topic uses Managed Object Format (MOF) syntax. For more information about using this method, see Calling a Method.
