Mind sharing your xcopy script? I have some out there that I use but am
always looking for improving them.

Has any version of Windows had an adequate backup system? From discussions
on here and OT, it seems that all people do is use Robocopy or Xcopy scripts
to do it for them. I know that's all I do!

According to the following article Windows 8.1 has no adequate backup
system.

Is this true? Could some of the local Windows8 experts give some insight
into these issues?
