Backup to the network

by lkoller . Updated 25 years, 2 months ago

I need to write a batch file by 8/17/00 to copy all of the personal data files from an NT/Novell Workstation (duel login) to a new folder on the Network home directory on the network for 80 users, one at a time. I want to put in a floppy and have it create the folder “Old Backup” added to their network home directory. The batch file has to have a variable to put in the starting path (D:\Winnt\profile\(NT userID) %1\Personal) and two variables in the network path (H:\users\(Unit Name)%2\(Employee Initials)%3). The network maps to the path (ie: H:\users\TSU\lak) when they logon, so I am not sure the last two variables are needed until I test it. There may be additional files, like Outlook calendar files that also need to be copied. I amnot sure whether to include the miscellaneous files or not. Anyone writing the best batch file wins! Thanks!
