Subject  :  using xxcopy together with zip/arj compression
Size(KB) :  0


Using xxcopy for backup puroposes, one of the things I want to do is to 
backup my most crucial files to a 250MB zip disc. To extend the capacity of 
the zip-disc, is it possible to set up a batch file that lets xxcopy work 
closely with pkzip/arj?

Written in pseudo-pseudo-code, I think something like this would work, but 
is there a better way to do it:

First, backup all files, make zip-file out of it and put on the zip-disc. 
Then on every shutdown:

1. Backup changed or new files to a directory on my hard drive.
2. If any files exists in the directory or it's sub-directories, update 
zip-file on zip-drive.
3. Delete backuped files and directories from temp directory.
4. Shut down.
