Hmm, it's not totally clear what files you are backing up here since 
there's no source specified. I'm guessing that the first command 
backs up the I:\ drive. If so, take a look at the following:

xxcopy i:\* f:\xpbackup\ /bu /foa:ilist.txt /fml /exa:ilistex.txt

/bu is shorthand for many switches typically used in a backup. Type 
xxcopy /bu/? to see all the switches used.
/fo specifies the output list file
/fml formats the output list with the long file names of the files 
copied
/ex specifies the exclusion list file

To test out the command first, add a /L to just list the files that 
would be copied.
