When a CD is involved, several people have mentioned the use of doslfnbk
($10 shareware I think) that would be used in conjunction with xxcopy (eg.
http://www8.pair.com/dmurdoch/programs/doslfnbk.htm).

I understand that Kan, xxcopy's creator, is looking at modifications to
xxcopy to more fully accommodate the use of CDs as a backup medium.
