Batch File to back up Network Folders

[nsanto17]

I am looking to create a Batch File to backup network Folders.

I have a simple batch file created but i can't get it to overwrite the exisiting files.

Would anyone care to share a batch file that will backup some network folders.

Thanks

Nick

Have you tried xcopy?

Example of xcopy:

xcopy \\server01\folder\*.* "\\server02\WaverlyUserData\" /e/k/o/i/y

The /y hook ( in the above mentioned post) is the hook that overwrites the existing file without prompting

Also look into Beyond Compare 2. This program is awesome. Can be used with the GUI or via script. I run it nightly on several machines to do compares and copy's. You can try it at:
