It uses the DOS command-line ROBOCOPY to perform the backup. backup is very useful as one of the instructions of the profile.do in which you can set which files or folders are desired to be backed up each time Stata is started. backup might be used at the beginning or ending of any do-file in order to ensure a backup of all the files produced for a certain project.
