Backup software?

[Guest Tom]

Using SBS 2003 Standard and I would like to copy a dir from each of my

clients

once a week to my server for file storage purposes. I don't want them to be

encrypted

so they can be viewed anytime from server operator.

 

Anyone know of a good piece of free software that would do this? I was

thinking

about writing an old type .bat file, but figured someone must have written

something

for this by now.

 

 

Thanks in advance!

RE: Backup software?

 

Write a command script and schedule it using Task Scheduler, but using xcopy

or robocopy you do have fairly good control over how the files are copied

(eg: only copy files that are newer or purging files in the destination that

are no longer in the source).

 

I know task scheduler isn't very pretty, but it works.
