Looks like Jeff and I (EDIT: and Michael) were saying the same thing. :)

If you are going to use Xcopy then consider using robocopy instead.

Generally, a couple of things to be aware of:

1. Format of the drives will make a difference ie. ext3 ext4 ntfs
2. Transfer protocol will make a difference ie. scp ftp sftp
3. Take note of file ownership and file protections.
4. Take note of time or date stamps, important for sync
5. As with any backup strategy, test the backup result from time to
time.
