Copying To Second Hard Drive

Winston

I have many gigs of music and have the songs backed up on a second
hard drive. Since I haven't backed up for several months, is there any
method in XP Pro to ship ONLY the songs not already on tne second
drive ?? Thanks for all responses.

Maybe if you but them in a briefcase then when you update it will only
add new songs?

You can do this from a command prompt using the Windows XCOPY command using
the /D switch. For example to copy all of the new files from the current
directory and all of its subdirectories on the C: drive to the "D:\Music
Backup" directory on the second drive you would use this command from at the
command prompt:

XCOPY "C:*.*" "D:\Music Backup" /S /D
