Vista - Replication or Backup

I have my accounting file sitting on my local machine. I want to be able to
push it out onto a network drive from time to time to make sure I have a
backup copy. Ideally, I'd like to do this every night. The backup routine
doesn't let me specify just one file to backup nightly.

Can anyone suggest another method to make sure this gets put on a network
drive every night? I wrote a script that does it, but it isn't 100% and
I'm sure there is a better way.

Thanks.

You could probably use the Copy or Xcopy command in a batch file, and use
Task Scheduler to run it every night.

I'd suggest Second Copy : http://www.centered.com/index.html

I've used it for years in situations similar to what you describe, (actually
have about 20 networked routines running 24/7 right now) and it's never
failed.

If you do decide to try it ..... just be CAREFUL if you opt to use the
"synchronization" routines with SYNC DELETIONS as an option. You have to be
a little careful with those, so I'd suggest you make a 3rd "safe copy"
somewhere before you choose to "sync deletions" option.


Regards,

I didn't mean to imply that "sync deletions" options don't work properly.
They do work just fine, but it's easy to make a mistake, so the "3rd Safe
copy" suggestion was just to make sure the actual routines are working they
way you want before you commit.
