No problem..... Xcopy can do that.

XCOPY R1.52    Extended file copy
Copyright (c) 1987,1996 Caldera, Inc.  All rights reserved.

XCOPY [/Help] [@][d:][path][filename[.ext]] [d:][path][filename[.ext]] [opts]

The first file specification is the drive, path and name of file(s) to be
copied (wildcard filenames allowed). This specification must be present.
Use '@' to specify that the given file contains a list of files to be copied.
The second file specification is the destination drive and path to which files
will be copied. Files will be renamed if a destination filename is specified.

  /A     only copy files with the archive attribute
  /D     the destination specifies a directory
  /D:mm-dd-yy  only copy files modified since specified date
  /E     allow empty subdirectories to be created
  /F     the destination specifies a file
  /H     copy files with hidden or system attributes
  /L     copy the disk volume label as well as specified files
  /M     only copy files with the archive attribute, reset the attribute
  /P     prompt before copying each file
  /R     overwrite read-only files
  /S     copy files in subdirectories
  /V     verify that data is written correctly
  /W     wait for disks to be changed
