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.
