Help on a batch file
hi there,
I would like to have a batch file or VB script that will do full and incremental copy of My network drive Z to E (local drive). The Z drive have multiple folders and sub folders. I will create a Job task on the computer to run the full backup once every 2weeks and the incremental will run daily.
I would like copy to overwrite the last week copy to avoid running ot of space n the local drive.
Thanks, Habib

How are you then going to audit backup success/failure of that data? I would recommend looking at 3rd party applications to do your backups.
A couple mainstream names would be Symantec BackupExec and Acronis. There are several flavors of backup applications so you'd want to choose the one that best matches your environment.

No I really do not care about the audit. I just want the job run.

I agree X copy is the commad but the switches are confusing to me
What switch do you need help with?
