Subject  :  Marking Deleted Files
Size(KB) :  0


I am using XXCOPY to backup to a removable disk. When a file is 
deleted on the main disk, I do not want to delete it on the backup 
copy, but just mark it as deleted. The Hidden attribute bit seems 
ideal. What I want to do is select those files on the backup disk 
that are no longer on the main disk and change their attribute to 
hidden. I am not sure how to do this. XXCOPY seems to be able to 
select and delete files on the destination disk that are not on the 
source disk, but I am not sure how to just select them and do a /ASH.

Perhaps there is a better approach. Any help would be appreciated.
