How can I copy files, which have been created/modified after a specified
date, from a folder (and its sub-folders) on one drive to another drive (say,
an external hard disc) maintaining the same hierarchy? Does the briefcase
stuff do it? Thanks for any help.

Plain old XCOPY will do it. Use parameters /S /D:m-d-y
