On 98se I used xxcopy and clone, Dos Programs, to back up my work files daily, is there something
similar for XP?

Well, how about the Backup program? You can define incremental backups
so those files that have changed since the last backup are the only ones
included in the incremental backup. You can even scheduled it by
defining an event in Task Scheduler.

Xxcopy works nicely in XP Pro. I run a batch file from the command line
which saves my recent data to floppies or CD-Rs without any trouble.

You can get the DOS command line by clicking on "Start", then "Run", then
type in "cmd" and then click on "OK". The experts in this forum will tell
you that this isn't true DOS, but something that works even better and has
more commands available.

Good luck, Dan

You are welcome. I had the same problem as you and found out about all
the good batch code commands that are in XP. You can even make up an
icon and run the batch code from the icon.
