i have two hard drives and want to know if i could use a batch file to backup the data on one of the hard drives to the other. if so, could someone please tell me how to write this. thanks
I personally would use the Briefcase feature of XP.
- Create a briefcase on the 2nd PC (right-click and select New - Briefcase)
- Put shortcut of this briefcase on desktop of 1st PC
- Open briefcase on 1st PC and drag all the stuff in it that you want backed up
- Periodically synchronize the briefcase to update files.
ADVANTAGE - Only recopies files that have changed
DISADVANTAGE - Synchronizing process is manual.
If you want to back the entire drive up so you can restore it then use something like Symantec Ghost
