Xcopy

Can anybody tell me how to copy with xcopy only those files made after a specific date? I can't find a command for that and I hope some exist! Also other question: when I make a batch-file for making a backup automatically, it works when you execute it manually, but when you use the winat or at it doesn't work anymore. I copy files over a network but I think that's not the problem. I use the command: cmd /c "C:\[batch-file-name}". I Also started the scheduler. Can anybody help me?

IF you are working in win 95 or 98 you will want to use xcopy32.exe or your folders that have names over 8 characters will get truncated.
