If you need to replicate data between windows machines you can use Robocopy to handle this task. i wont go into too much detail, but windows 7 and server 2008 includes robocopy as part of the base install. Try it out and let me know what you think.<\/p>\n

\n:: \/B :: copy files in Backup mode.
\n:: \/SEC :: copy files with SECurity
\n:: \/MIR :: MIRror a directory tree<\/p>\n

ROBOCOPY %_source% %_dest% %_what% %_options%<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

simply create a .bat file with the code above and run it from an elevated command prompt (after editing the source and destination of course)\u00a0 and it will make sure you have a copy on another server.<\/p>\n

you can also add a job to zip up the folder that was created last time to keep archives or rely on shadow copy settings. either way its pretty cool.<\/p>\n
