This is what I would like to include in my daily backup:

C:\My Documents\*\*
C:\My Files\*\*
C:\Windows\Favorites\*.*
*.xls *.doc *.ppt *.pub *.ost *.pst *.pab, etc, etc

This is what I would like to exclude:
C:\Windows\Temp\*\*
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\*\*

After reading the documentation, the tech bulletins and help from Kan, I 
have come up with the following method:

[savedata.bat]

xxcopy /CFcmd.lst
xxcopy "C:\My Documents" "D:\Backup\My Documents" /s /wd0 /pb /i /ec
xxcopy "C:\Windows\Favorites" "D:\Backup\Favorites" /s /wd0 /pb /i /ec
xxcopy "C:\My Files" "D:\Backup\My Files" /s /wd0 /pb /i /ec


[cmd.lst]

::Source
C:\NULL

::Target
D:\Backup

::Include these files

/IN*.mdb
/IN*.doc
/IN*.pub
/IN*.ppt
/IN*.wpd
/IN*.ost
/IN*.pab
/IN*.pst
/IN*.sso
/INbookmark.htm

::Exclude these directories
::The "My Documents" will be backed up later

/X"C:\My Documents\*\*"
/X"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\*\*"
/X"C:\Windows\Script.doc"
/X"C:\Windows\Temp\*\*"

::Misc switches
/S /WD0 /PB /I


The problem is, I had to call xxcopy four times in order to get the job 
done. Is there a way to complete this in just one xxcopy 
command? Ideally, I'd like to be able to add directories to the /IN switch 
like I did with the /X. However, according to the documentation, you can 
not use backslashes.

Which brings up a good question, why is it permissible via /X and not 
/IN? Seems like they are complimentary commands so why not make the syntax 
the same?

Regards,

rotaiv.
