Is there a software or something that will allow me to schedule a copy of files from my hard drive to a network location? Due to speed and some other issues, I would like to be able to use my files on my hard drive and then every evening have them automatically copy to a network location as a back up.

Does something like this exist or what would you recommend as a possible solution?

Thanks so much.
 
make up a batch file - e.g. c:\bkp.bat

The line below is an example of the batch file contents:

xcopy "c:\documents and settings\myname\my documents\*.*" "\\server\share\myname\*.*" /c /d /e /y

Then, use windoze scheduler to run it off evry 24 hours...

HTH.

What could possibly go wrong?
