I gave up on XXCOPY – used it for batch file backups, was great while it worked 
but after 100 times or so it starts putting up a very very slow nag screen, and 
after Windows update starts complaining about not being tested on this version 
of Windows and simply stops working.

Does XXCOPY still do those dumb things?

I went back to XCOPY, which at least stays working for what it does.

XCOPY example part of a batch file:
ECHO Copying files from D2007\%1 to BACKUP\D2007\%1

IF EXIST c:\JBData\D2007\%1\*.PAS   XCOPY   c:\JBData\D2007\%1\*.PAS   
c:\BACKUP\D2007\%1 /d/y

and so on for extensions DFM  DPR BDS*  dproj RES TXT INC etc

Can anybody recommend a good backup system, just for backing up to an external 
Hdrive?

I downloaded a trial version of "Nero BackItUp" but appears poor in UI, slow as 
a dog and poor setup options.

 

Thanks

John
