You can try xcopy. I don't know how to do it with robocopy. Using the
/L option is good for previewing what might happen. Incomplete
information on xcopy follows:
XCOPY
...
Syntax
XCOPY /source/ [/destination/] [/options/]
...
/E Copy folders and subfolders, including Empty folders.
May be used to modify /T.
...
/L List only - Display files that would be copied.
...
///T Create folder structure, but do not copy files. Do not
include empty folders or subfolders.
/T /E will include empty folders and subfolders.

Is there a process for copying a tree of folders without copying the
files that are in those folders?
I have a "2008" folder containing a large tree of folders with 2008
data in various categories. I want to create a "2009" folder (easily
done), and then copy the folder tree, without data files, from the
2008 folder to the 2009 folder. Yes, I can copy everything (wasteful),
but then the process of deleting all of the data files from the
destination tree is a tedious one (unless, perhaps, there is an
automated process for doing that, but only as a last resort).
Many thanks for any help.
