Default Xcopy for backup???

My experience is Xcopy is the fastest copy method of data, I have ever used.

I used this for backup purpose. but with the days, data changes. Now I want to use this command to copy only the new files or the files whose attribute is changed. Anyone know the switch throughwhich i can get my purpose??

/D:m-d-y Copies files changed on or after the specified date. If no date is given, /D copies only those files whose source time is newer than the destination time.
