Back Up

yagga

I would like to back up certain files onto a second hard drive. I know Windows XP has the built in Back Up, but it doesn't let me select the types of files in a folder I want backed up. Can I do this? I want to because it is for a game where I frequently get new custom maps for and I would like the maps to be backed up into my server hard drive where I have the master list of everything I've got. I only want the maps and I don't want them re copying each other, just the new ones. I also should note that a lot of times maps are named the same thing but are different maps, so I would need to bypass the possibility that a technique would copy over other maps with the same name. Also, can I do this over the home network? And can it be set so it works when the computer is on, sense I now have them turned off most of the time. The windows built in one only lets me set a time.

It's that simple.Move this stuff there or even make cd's if you have a burner.
This doesn't require backup,just copying or moveing from C to D.

I hope you don't mind but stand still for a moment.You don't seem to understand
basic use of a PC.
Lets get both harddrives readable.
Go here www.netez.com and install 2xExplorer.Then get both drives showing in split screen

Ok, what I meant was automatic backing up.

if the files you are backing up are always the same, or the directories are....whatever the case as long as there is some constant then make a .bat file with the require copy commands. Then just create a task that will regularily run that .bat file.
