Backing up a folder

I was wondering if there was a program or something built into XP that automatically backs up a folder or a file into another location to prevent deletion, say every day or so, overwriting the older folder/file.
I ask this because I have a game folder (cstrike/cfg, counter-strike:source) that pretty much keeps all my settings, and I've had it deleted/changed on accident before.
Thanks.
 
funny thing. i looking for something similar.
I don't know and will watch. i keep seeing server
software. then again i think you could just create a batch
file in dos that would do this automatically. you would want '
to create a batch file. (like backup.bat) create the shortcut to
the desktop. backup.bat
Im rusty but here goes.
never mind. i better not say it.
look at the command xcopy in dos mode.
the switches are S (including sub directorys, E - even if empty,
W-wait and V - verify.
from the dos command xcopy c:\backup\*.* d:\backup directory.
you have to edit the bat in dos mode. call it backup.bat. and leave
in the root of c:.
Sorry, its been a while. my best shot.
