Re: I Need Help (Backup)
I should also mention that I'd advise you invest in a cheap 40gb drive and add it as a second physical drive in your "server." Say it is your "F" drive. Write a batch file and schedule it to run every night at like 2am. The batch file would look something like this:
xcopy c:\*.* f:\*.* /F /E /C /K /Y
exit
This would copy the entire contents of the C drive to the F drive, retaining permissions and file information (recursive and hidden files, too).
That way if your C drive ever bites the dust, you can just map everyone over to the F drive and life goes on.
40 gb hard drives are so cheap that you'd be a fool to not do it at this point.
