Is this the group to ask about batch files or utilities to
back up files like my AddressBook, emails, Favourites etc?

Well you can use the default win Backup utility or google for 'Backup'.
Depending on mail app there are utilities specifically for these

Thx DL,
MS Backup seems to make me choose the few files I need to
backup every time - hence my request for a batch file.

I have Googled but didn't find anything that told me
(simply) how to build my own batch file. I will take
another look.

If you tell NTBackup to schedule the job for latter, you can Copy/Paste the
properties of the scheduled job into a batch. Then delete the scheduled task.

I use this to copy from my hard disk to a USB drive.
I have this batch file sitting on the USB drive.
xcopy "C:\ralph\001030\MY_SITE" MY_SITE /S /D /I /Y

MY_SITE is a directory containing a copy of my whole website.

You might want to look at using XXCOPY instead. It is much more flexible,
and makes backing up directory trees really easy, using the /CLONE
parameter.
