John:

There is no mechanism that is built-in to the XXCOPY program
which immediately kicks in to do a backup of the newly created
file.

Alternatively, you may run a script (batch file) with XXCOPY
command at some interval (controlled from the Win system's
scheduled task manager. You may control the interval to be
very short (and you may limit the number of files to be
copied at one time to be only handful (less than 100) and
invoke the batch file once in 5 minutes as an example.

Here's how:

1. create a batch file

mybatch1.bat
---------------------------------------------------
xxcopy c:\ g:\ /clone /yy
xxcopy d:\ h:\ /clone /yy
---------------------------------------------------

You may create two separate batch files for the
above two lines in the batch file.


2. Drag-and-drop the icon of the batch file into the
"Scheduled Task" folder inside the control panel
windows.

3. Once the item is in the scheduled task, right click
its icon and edit the property sheet where you find
parameter to enter ---- you may enter the interval
of execution. It also allow you to perform the
log-on procedure with keyword.
