Cobian Backup is a multi-threaded program that can be used to schedule and 
backup your files and directories from their original location to other 
directories/drives in the same computer or other computer in your network. FTP 
backup is also supported in both directions (download and upload).

    *  A Win95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003 utility which runs in command line mode.
    * Comes with a 16-bit version (XXCOPY16).
      (XXCOPY16.EXE copies files using the short (8.3 format) name only.)
    * Duplicates the entire system drive which can boot Win9x (xxtb #10).
    * Keeps the same short name (8.3) in the destination as in the source (xxtb 
#03).
    * The source specifier accepts wildcards in directory names also (xxtb #28).
    * Backs up directory incrementally without the use of archive bit. (xxtb 
#06).
    * Synchronizes directories (xxtb #20).
    * Controls file attributes (keeps the source, destination attributes or 
none).
    * Excludes directories or files from copying by wild cards(xxtb #05).
    * Handles a Cyclic Copy case much better than XCOPY (xxtb #07).
    * Qualifies files by file date/time (Before, On, or After) (xxtb #17).
    * Deletes files or directories using the same powerful selection mechanism 
(xxtb #12).
    * Copies hidden/system files, and overwrites Read-only files.
    * Flattens a directory tree into files in one directory (xxtb #16).
    * ... and many, many, intimidatingly more ... (over 200 command switches)
    * Copies security information for NTFS volume archiving.
    * Supersedes Microsoft's ROBOCOPY (xxtb #30).
    * Works very much like XCOPY with the same command syntax.
    * Available in two flavors; Freeware and Pro Edition (see below).
