Not sure about xcopy, but robocopy has that kind of ability. Robocopy used to be only available the extra resources CD you had to buy separately, but it's included in Windows 7 now.

He's almost there but has a question: The following in a batch file seems to work for backing up DocketWorks: xcopy "W:\DWData.mdb" "C:\ProgramData\DocketWorks" Do you know if there is some way to append a date time stamp to it so it does not always overwrite the previous backup? Anyone know?
