Batch File for W2K

[welsh blackbird]

I hope somebody can help me with this!

I need to copy all of the data on drive D to a folder on drive C each day. It needs to maintain the directory structure and automatically overwrite the existing files in the target directory.

Is it possible to do this with a batch file that I can run before I go home so that it does it without any user intervention?

Any assistance much appreciated!!

Yes. Writing batch files is easy, use Google and you'll find a million tutorials. You can then run the batch file using Scheduled Tasks in Windows, at a particular time each day so that no user input is required

You could use xcopy, though you might consider using winzip. i.e. zip all the contents of drive D into a zip file held on drive C. Then use winzip to keep the archive upto date, this will save you lots of space on your C drive.

Personally I'd go with the Zip option but xcopy might be enough for you.
