After trying some approaches I came up with this one:

<Component Id="FileToBeBackuped_xml"
Guid="{EFF94FEE-B0AF-4fbf-B651-F923CECDC9B0}" DiskId="1">
  <File Id="FileToBeBackuped.xml" LongName="FileToBeBackuped.xml"
Name="FILETO_1.XML" Source="files\FileToBeBackuped.xml" KeyPath="yes"
Vital="yes" />
</Component>

<Component Id="BackupTest" Guid="{C89048B8-8F3A-463c-B361-8AA2D496EA7A}"
Transitive="yes">
  <Condition>Installed</Condition>
  <CopyFile Id="FileToBeBackuped" FileId="FileToBeBackuped.xml"
DestinationDirectory="Backup" />
</Component>

So far this approach works fine if you reinstall the application. But it
does not work on unistall. I don't understand why. Can anyone of you WiX
gurus help me? What do I have to do to copy (backup) a file on unistall?

Thanks!
