Need program to backup

Hello,

Due to some inherent limitations on the software that we use, I can only
work from the C drive. As a result I ALWAYS work from the same folder. That
folder contains data that is updated daily, as well as data that is just used
as read only purposes. The daily updated (written) data is about 50mb, and
the read-only data is about 250mb.

What I want to know is if there is a program out there that can go to SAID
folder on C:, and back it up to the server folder of our choice. AND, I'd
like to be able to log out BEFORE leaving work at the end of the day, so it
would be nice if SAID program could do the backup without having to be logged
in.

Any input would be apprieciated!

Phil.
 
Hi,

I forgot to mention:

OS = WinXP, SP2
Network OS = Win2K

And also, that the Backup utility that comes bundled with windows does not
seem to be very reliable (based on our own experiences trying to backup our
servers), and that is a point of concern for us. But if anyone wishes to
disagree with this point, I'd be happy to hear WHY.

Thanks!

Phil.

The XCopy command will backup all the changed files for you and you can
automate the task by putting it in a batch file and using Task Scheduler
to run it at your convenience.
