Automatically copy a bunch of files at shutdown?

Trying to figure out a backup solution and what I'd like to do is simply
have a script that, when I shut down windows, copies a bunch of files from
various locations to a backup drive on the network.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Thx!

Easily done.

Local computer policy Shutdown Script.

GPEdit.msc
Computer configuration --> Windows settings --> Scripts (startup/shutdown)

....note that this script will not be able to run under any user credentials,
and so the source *computer* account itself will need at least 'modify'
permissions in the folder on the other computer. This is easy enough in a
domain, but I don't know how one might do it in a workgroup, although it's
possible this isn't that big a deal provided your security settings on the
destination computer are wide open.

Instead of a shutdown script, you could use a logoff script...but you'd need
to wait til it finished in order to log out.

Another option might be SecondCopy from www.centered.com - you can configure
your copy job, then choose the option in the software to shut down the
computer after running the job.

Thanks guys! I'm using a logoff script to execute the MS SyncToy. Works
well!
