Yes, Ken, I am interested in hearing your description of this backup
system.
You mentioned xxcopy, but one visit to this site warns of a steep

Can the removable drive system you mention be achieved without
learning DOS? or multitudes of commands?
I have some new drives and want to do something smart and practical
with them.
