I want to do a daily backup up of 4 drives on my system. I dont want to
create a .bkf or image of the drive. I need to create a mirrow of the drive
onto another drive and be able to see the files on the new drive not a
backup image.

I thought about using XCopy but the problem is, as I stated I have 4 drives,
I need to back up these 4 drives to one drive separating the drives into
folders.

Example:

All contents/folders in drive E: would go into J:\Datafiles\
F: would go into J:\Programfiles\
G: would go into J:\MasterFiles\
H: would go into J:\MiscFiles\

E thru H would have subfolders in each of the drives.

Datafiles, ProgramFiles, MasterFiles, MiscFiles are subfolders within the J
drive.

Is there a software package that would allow me to do this? I have looked
at Norton Ghost and Nova but both creates images not the files themselves.

Thanks,

Bob Leffew

You can use xcopy. I am using xcopy in a similar manner. I created a batch
file and entered this data:

cd\
xcopy *.* I:\cdrive /c /e /q /h /y
d:
xcopy *.* I:\ddrive /c /e /q /h /y
e:
xcopy *.* I:\edrive /c /e /q /h /y
f:
xcopy *.* I:\fdrive /c /e /q /h /y
g:
xcopy *.* I:\gdrive /c /e /q /h /y
v:
xcopy *.* I:\vdrive /c /e /q /h /y

All you have to do is edit these commands to work in your enviorment. This
way you will be able to access your backup data any time. You can even use
the task scheduler to run this batch at any time. Only problem is xcopy
will not back up files that are in use.
