Well,

For those that work with Win2K and are able to change this batchfile to 
fill their every need...

<snip>
@echo off
REM prof.bat
REM xcopy exit codes:
REM 0 Files were copied without error.
REM 1 No files were found to copy.
REM 2 The user pressed CTRL+C to terminate xcopy.
REM 4 Initialization error occurred. There is not enough memory or disk 
space, or you entered an invalid drive name or syntax
REM 5 Disk write error occurred.
REM Errorlevel statements always high to low!


REM This routine saves the Firefox/Sunbird profiles into a different folder.
REM Supposed to work as an incremental backup routine.
