Hi all,

We have a process where when each user logs in, it runs a batch file (xcopy) that copies files from a folder on their computer to a folder on the network.

However, I've been getting tons of permissions errors, even though they have full rights to their network folder, as well as the folder on their computer. I'm ready to give up.

Does anyone have a process they use to backup employee data on a local network w/o employee intervention?

Is share permissions set to allow them to write to the share? If there is a conflict between share permissions and NTFS permissions, Windows uses the most restrictive.

Also change that logon script to a logoff script to be more effective. That way when they logoff, the data is backed up. This will also decrease your logon times.
