    I've been using MyPhoneExlorer to both connect the phone and to copy
    from it, and I have to compare the source and dest each time to see what
    to copy, but maybe all I need to do is plug the phone into a USB port
    and use any of the Windows-based backup programs that don't copy what's
    already copied. Like robocopy or xxcopy.

    AFAIK, if you're using MyPhoneExlorer, you're using an interactive,
    i.e. not command-line/script, procedure.

    If so, it's indeed probably easier to just plug in the phone via USB
    and use Windows' File Explorer to do the copying (copy-and-paste).

    After the copying, just use Properties on the source folder of the
    phone and the destination folder on the computer. The number of Files
    and Folders and the Size (*not* 'Size on disk') should be the same.

    Anyway, that's what I use when copying pictures from phones or other
    external devices.

    Thanks. You've convinced me
