I need a means of having one of my Windows XP machines to automatically copy
a folder to the server daily. Here is the reason: One of my remote sites
runs a critical legacy application that works only when installed locally.
Since that site is connected to my network via vpn, I need a means of
getting those files copied to the server nightly so that they can be backed
up. By the way, I am running Small Business Server Backup which only
backs-up the server and not client machine files.
