If I want to overwrite the entire contents of the folder, what should I add to my code?

You may want to try adding the /Y option:

xcopy /s /y "C:\backupMai" "\\myserver\backup$\logFile\c022456"

As noted in this SS64 page on XCOPY, the /Y option suppresses the prompt to confirm overwriting a file.
