Sync specific folders to file server on logoff

Hello

I have 20 users joined to active directory version 2008.  I want some specific folders (ex. c:\my.files ) to automatically be synced with my fileserver (for backup purposes), when my users logoff or shutdown their computers, .

I am thinking to create a batch file which simply xcopy these folders to my fileserver using logoff scripts in group policy.

Is there any other way to do?  What if i want to sync files and not copy all data every time a user logoff/shutdown?

Thanks

Why not just use folder Redirection and be done with it?  That is what it was designed for.

The files just have to be located within folders that folder Redirection is designed to work with (My Documents, Desktop, etc)

Sorry,...I should have said Offline Files.
