Change it to Robocopy with the /MIR switch.

It will create a "Mirror" of the source, including removing files that
don't exist, etc...

I currently have a bunch of xcopy's setup to backup my files at home.
The problem with this, however, is that is if I delete a file, it will
still exist on the "backup."  I haven't gotten around to writing an
"unbackup" script.

In its simplest form, backup.bat:

SET SOURCEDIR=%1
SET TARGETDIR=%2
SET LOGPATH=%3
IF {%SOURCEDIR%}=={/?} GOTO :Usage
IF {%SOURCEDIR%}=={} GOTO :Usage
IF {%LOGPATH%}=={} (SET LOGPATH=nul)
echo %date% %time%>>%LOGPATH%
xcopy /C /H /E /D /Y /F %SOURCEDIR% %TARGETDIR%>>%LOGPATH%
echo.>>%LOGPATH% goto :eof :usage echo.
echo Usage:
echo.
echo backup C:\Source\Directory\To\Backup
C:\Target\Directory\For\Backups [C:\Log\Results\To\file.txt] echo.
