Synchronize saving files into multiple locations?
Is there a way for me to save files in one location, and they are automatically saved in another location?
Basically we have a folder in which we keep backups, and we want to save a word document to our My Documents folder while at the same time the document in the backup folder is saved as well. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Essentially you create a .bat file in notepad with the backup (copy) commands you want. I use XCOPY because it's a little more robust than regular COPY. You can find all the switches to XCOPY by opening up a DOS screen and typing:
HELP XCOPY
Once you create your batch file, you can set it to automatically run at timed intervals by adding the batch file you created to the Windows Task Scheduler.
