What is the difference between bulk copy (bcp) and bulk insert in SQL Server 2008?

What is the difference between bulk copy (bcp) and bulk insert?

Is there a switch to export all of the data in all of tables in a database for bcp?

bcp.exe uses BULK INSERT to do its job. It's the same relation that the one between sqlcmd.exe (a tool) and SELECT (a statement).

There is no 'switch' to export all tables in a database. There is however an export and import wizard which is based on SSIS, not on bcp.
