Hi,
Using windows 2000 on our work computer and we have to backup our files.
Is
there a simple program that can look for selected files (in our case doc
and
xls) on the harddrive and back them up to a flash drive?
We have a number of users creating important files all over the harddrive.
Using the Win 2000 backup program is a nightmare, trying manually to find
all the files. It does not seem to have a filter system in it.
Any suggestions for an easy to use program would be appreciated.

Create the batch file below, then create a shortcut to it so that
your users can click it when necessary.

@echo off
xcopy /y /c /d /y "c:\Documents and Settings*.doc" F:\Backup\
xcopy /y /c /d /y "c:\Documents and Settings*.xls" F:\Backup\
echo.
echo Press the Space Bar to close this window.
pause > nul
