Just FYI, I added one last line to the script. I added the "attrib" command to execute after the complete backup process.

Cleaning up It is usually a good idea to clean up temporary files, cookies, and history from the destination backup, as applicable.
The only disadvantage being that it would save temporary IE files as well however the default location of those can be changed, or you can automate cleanup after backing up, as described above.
