OK... Here's the deal.<br />
<br />
I need to archive some data from the corporate nework with this contraints:<br />
<br />
1. I have 30-40 GB of data on the coporate network. &nbsp;<br />
2. I need to archive about 1/2 of the data according to 4 different file extensions. &nbsp;<br />
3. I need to maintain the origional paths for the files.<br />
4. I am limited to using only installed corporate software on the computer. &nbsp;(Neo DVD Burn software)<br />
5. I have about 9 GB free space on the network to potentially copy files to before burning to DVD.<br />
6. Running Windows 2000<br />
<br />
Can I do something with changing the archive bit to accomplish this and some kind of xcopy?<br />
<br />
Much thanks for your help.

Copying / Backup of only certain file types.

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
