Yes, that's what I'm trying to do. Originally I tried to setup a backup
schedule that backs up the files to the web folder. But the backup utility
doesn't allow the backup to be saved to a web folder. It will say, "You
cannot save in the folder you specified. Please choose another location."
I'm not sure how to create a scheduled copy.....can you explain. :)

Thanks,
Steven
