You didn't read the helpfile...
In the case of copyto and moveto, the source(s) may contain wildcards, for example:
copyto "D:\Backup\XY files\<date yyyy-mm-dd>", "<xydata>\*.ini|<xydata>\*.dat"
Copies all *.ini and *dat file from the XYplorer data path to D:\Backup\XY files\2008-04-22\ (if that's the date today).
Note that backupto, however, does not support wildcards!

Yes, yes, yes *sigh*
Code: Select all
Note that backupto, however, does not support wildcards!
so
won't copy anything BECAUSE BACKUPTO DOES NOT SUPPORT WILDCARDS.

Because it's so simple that you can do it yourself. Everything that's needed is in the helpfile!
Code: Select all
backupto location, [source], [on_collision], [preserve_dates], [create_log], [pop_stats], [skip_junctions], [verify], [show_progress]
and later on, what can be used for multiple files?
Code: Select all
You can also use multiple sources by using pipe ( | ) as separator, for example:
backupto "D:\Backup\XY folders\<date yyyy-mm-dd>", "<xydata>\Scripts|<xydata>\FindTemplates"
So what's so hard that you can't fill in a few parameters that are all explained there?
Code: Select all
backupto "D:\", "C:\555.txt|C:\666.txt", 2;
