Is there a way using Vista's backup (Ultimate) to backup files without
putting them into a backup format file - In other words, I simply want to
automate a backup which copies individual files to a different hard drive..
Something like xcopy, but with a GUI.

I know I could use xcopy within a batch file, but I'm getting problems with
Vista automatically going into sleep mode halfway though my backup event
(despite my power settings telling it to sleep about 1 hour it goes to sleep
after a few minutes when woken up by the scheduler).

Thanks,
A.

Not with the native backup tools.
