Look for <CopyFile> and <MoveFiles> elements in WiX.
See more explanation on how to schedule MoveFiles action in here:

Subject: [WiX-users] Creating backups

Hi,

I am using WiX to replace an existing installer system, and as such, when
the installer runs, if there is an existing configuration file (e.g.
MyConf.XML), what is the best method to place a copy of that in a Backup
folder, preferably renamed with a datetime in the filename?

Thanks,

RW
