I wonder if its possible to deploy a Umbraco site by using xcopy. I have a site that I have developed on my machine. Now I want to deploy it on my webhost.
Max is correct, a move dev to sta to live involves a backup/restore of the database and xcopy'ing all files. Don't forget to change the connection string in web.config (most probably they're not the same), reset file permissions (especially when your ftp'ing from dev to sta/live) and optionally republish the site.
xcopy install..

You will need to move the database as well as the website files.
Don't forget to set folder permissions on the live server.
