Auto-copy files to serverI need a means of having one of my Windows XP machines to automatically copy
a folder to the server daily. Here is the reason: One of my remote sites runs a critical legacy application that works only when installed locally. Since that site is connected to my network via vpn, I need a means of getting those files copied to the server nightly so that they can be backed up. By the way, I am running Small Business Server Backup which only backs-up the server and not client machine files. Mervin Williams Sure, you can create a batch file + Scheduled Task. This how to may help
