That may suffice for some purposes. In my specific situation, I have a
network drive that I can copy files to that need to be backed up. I
need to keep the file size under 250MB. If I copy all of my FrameMaker
files (which are required to have the images embedded in them) AND the
.backup files of those same files, I will quite handily exceed that
limit. I'm not sure of a way to use xcopy to include "file.fm" but not
"file.backup.fm." Using Ant, I have been able to specify that I do
want to back up .png, .vsd, .fm, and .book files, but not
.backup.book, .backup.fm, and .xls files.

If you want to copy everything, xcopy /u will work fine. If you need
to be pickier, Ant is another option.
