Hello,

Anybody knows how to schedule copying files from one computer to another in a local network ?

It s a Win98 machine and I want to copy a database one a special time every day to another machine.

I took allready a look to the windows taskmanager but i did not found a function there.

Any help, tips or links to free software which I can use would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Best

if its a sql database there might be a tool to do remote backups. depending on what database it is. i know theres some for mySQL..

Only normal files and folders. the files containing a database but a normal backup of the files to another folder / pc is more than enough.

Task scheduler & a batch file are all you need.

or why not use a backup tool ...

check http://www.fileflash.com

I cant recommend one since I do not need one but I am sure there is one that firts ur needs

Create a BAT file with comand copy <filename> <destination>

ex.:
Copy c:\database\file.db n:\Backup\

where n: is the remote network
and make Taskmanager run this bat every time you need..
