Copy only files that have newer version?

Thanks, dencorso I'll try it out as soon as possible.

I've prepared an updated/fixed version of the script I posted above:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
SET SOURCEDIR=
SET DESTINATIONDIR=
IF EXIST "%DESTINATIONDIR%" (
	FOR /F %%I IN ('DIR/A-D/B "%SOURCEDIR%"') DO (
		IF EXIST "%DESTINATIONDIR%\%%I" (
			FOR /F "tokens=5" %%J IN ('FILEVER "%SOURCEDIR%\%%I"') DO IF NOT "%%J"=="-" (
				FOR /F "tokens=5" %%J IN ('FILEVER "%SOURCEDIR%\%%I"') DO SET SOURCEVER=%%J
				FOR /F "tokens=5" %%J IN ('FILEVER "%DESTINATIONDIR%\%%I"') DO SET DESTINATIONVER=%%J
				FOR /F "tokens=1-4 delims=." %%I IN ("!SOURCEVER!") DO (
					SET SOURCEVER1=%%I
					SET SOURCEVER2=%%J
					SET SOURCEVER3=%%K
					SET SOURCEVER4=%%L
				)
				FOR /F "tokens=1-4 delims=." %%I IN ("!DESTINATIONVER!") DO (
					SET DESTINATIONVER1=%%I
					SET DESTINATIONVER2=%%J
					SET DESTINATIONVER3=%%K
					SET DESTINATIONVER4=%%L
				)
				IF !SOURCEVER! EQU !DESTINATIONVER! (
					XCOPY/DY "%SOURCEDIR%\%%I" "%DESTINATIONDIR%" >NUL
					FOR /F %%J IN ('XCOPY/DY "%SOURCEDIR%\%%I" "%DESTINATIONDIR%" ^| FIND "0"') DO IF !ERRORLEVEL! NEQ 0 ECHO %SOURCEDIR%\%%I
					DEL/Q "%SOURCEDIR%\%%I"
				)	
				IF EXIST "%SOURCEDIR%\%%I" IF !SOURCEVER1! GTR !DESTINATIONVER1! (
					MOVE/Y "%SOURCEDIR%\%%I" "%DESTINATIONDIR%" >NUL
					ECHO %SOURCEDIR%\%%I
				)
				IF EXIST "%SOURCEDIR%\%%I" IF NOT !DESTINATIONVER1! GTR !SOURCEVER1! IF !SOURCEVER2! GTR !DESTINATIONVER2! (
					MOVE/Y "%SOURCEDIR%\%%I" "%DESTINATIONDIR%" >NUL
					ECHO %SOURCEDIR%\%%I
				)
				IF EXIST "%SOURCEDIR%\%%I" IF NOT !DESTINATIONVER1! GTR !SOURCEVER1!  IF NOT !DESTINATIONVER2! GTR !SOURCEVER2! IF !SOURCEVER3! GTR !DESTINATIONVER3! (
					MOVE/Y "%SOURCEDIR%\%%I" "%DESTINATIONDIR%" >NUL

				IF EXIST "%SOURCEDIR%\%%I" IF NOT !DESTINATIONVER1! GTR !SOURCEVER1! IF NOT !DESTINATIONVER2! GTR !SOURCEVER2! IF NOT !DESTINATIONVER3! GTR !SOURCEVER3! IF !SOURCEVER4! GTR !DESTINATIONVER4! (
					MOVE/Y "%SOURCEDIR%\%%I" "%DESTINATIONDIR%" >NUL
					ECHO %SOURCEDIR%\%%I
				)
			) ELSE (
				XCOPY/DY "%SOURCEDIR%\%%I" "%DESTINATIONDIR%" >NUL
				FOR /F %%J IN ('XCOPY/DY "%SOURCEDIR%\%%I" "%DESTINATIONDIR%" ^| FIND "0"') DO IF !ERRORLEVEL! NEQ 0 ECHO %SOURCEDIR%\%%I
			)
		) ELSE (
			MOVE "%SOURCEDIR%\%%I" "%DESTINATIONDIR%" >NUL
			IF !ERRORLEVEL! EQU 0 ECHO %SOURCEDIR%\%%I
		)
	)
) ELSE (
	MD %DESTINATIONDIR%
	COPY %SOURCEDIR%\*.* %DESTINATIONDIR% >NUL
	FOR /F %%I IN ('DIR/A-D/B %SOURCEDIR%') DO ECHO %SOURCEDIR%\%%I
)
PAUSE

Be careful because this one actually moves some of the files.
