problems on backups

I want to make a clean install of XP,it would require a total formatting of my HD, because I had a mew HD and wanted to move to RAID-0.
I had made a backup of my My documents folder about a month ago, on my CD.
It's about 200+Mb.
After that last backup, some files have been changed, and some other have been modified.Now, I want to make back of only those files I modified. not those files of which I had made a manual backup.

Is there a way?

Yes there is a way. You can use Search and in the advanced options - you can give like , modified in the last week or some thing similar. Now the search will display only those files that have been modified in the last week. Now Select all ( Ctrl + A) and Copy ( Ctrl + C) and create a folder called 'New Ones' in another drive. And copy the files (Ctrl + V) ie., paste them. That's all!! Hope you understood what I said. Now take a backup of this folder.

NEver thought of this.
I would just check whether they would retain directories or not.
