When I bought my computer I had two hard drives (exactly
the same) put in my computer, I need to backup Windows
2000 Professional, to my other hard Drive. After I get
the main backup done, I need to backup every day, but just
the files that have changed.

Is there any way to do this?
 
Windows 2000 has its own backup utility. Have you looked at its features? If not, it can be found in the Program menu under System Tools. It has its own help file.

There are other methods of backup to consider. One is imaging the drive. This takes in to account all changes, additions, and deletions, whereas a file-copy routine does nothing about folders and files that are deleted. Food for thought.....

The only way to reliably and fully backup NTx is offline. Either w/ an
imaging utility or a file by file copy from another OS installation
(which could include boot from a DOS disk and running xcopy)
