Paul,

I think it is one of the hundreds of options, although I haven't used that 
one myself yet.
I use a simple set of options that show me on screen what it going on, such 
as

xxcopy E:\data\*.* I:\datacopies /BI /E /FF /Po0 /WE

or for copying to a networked computer

xxcopy E:\data\*.* \\home-2\maindata2\datacopies /BI /E /FF /Po0 /WE

I have about a dozen such lines in one batch file, and one of the above 
options stops each between each line and gives a breakdown onscreen on what 
it copied. Then a touch on the spacebar and it does the next line. You can 
run it completely in the background, but I still like to keep an eye on it.

I leave deleted files in the backup at present as a precaution, and just 
delete the whole backup if I run out of space, and let it copy the current 
files over.

It's free for one computer, but you need a licence for networked computers.

Bob Frost.

XCOPY won't delete backups of files that no longer exist. Will XXCOPY?
