Here's an example
XCOPY C:\files\*.* Z:\files\*.* /r/i/c/h/k/e/y/d
where c:\ is the source and z:\ is the backup drive.
This would copy all files including subdirectories to the
disk. 2nd time round if you reused the same disk it would
only copy the changed files so the backup would be
quicker, however if you used blank disks each time a full
backup would occur which takes ages.
