Hello. I work for a non-profit charity organization that has no servers; rather is using a Microsoft peer-to-peer network. Moving forward in small steps, I am now using an XP machine to be the “server.” At present, we have no external backup device, so I have to manually copy (UGH) certain key files and directories to another quiet workstation that has little user intervention (the print “server”) so at least the files/docs will be in 2 places instead of only one should I be so unfortunate as to lose my data.
What I’d like to do is use a batch file to automate the process, but I’m a little uncertain as to what syntax to use:
a) In order to copy from \\mycomputer\directory\file to \\thatcomputer\directory\file [using UNC]
b) To allow the destination files be overwritten without user intervention — to answer Y or N automatically, and lastly
c) To set up an automated process to run this batch file after hours.
Thanks!
