I'm trying to backup files by scheduling a nightly copy of files from one computer to another.
I already run a similar script which copies files (using Xcopy) from one logical drive to another on the same machine. This script works fine.
However, the following script does not work: (actually it's more complex than that)
-------------------------
@echo on
rem Backup To Lou
rem Created for MIT Audio Visual on 9/6/2000
rem by Dave Broderick
rem Backup To Lou.CMD
xcopy /ED D:\FMBackup\*.fp3 \\Audio-visual-4\DBBackup\FMBackup
--------------------------
Actually, the above script does work when I double click on it. However, when I tell the scheduler to do it, it fails, and the scheduler (WinAt is just a GUI to the scheduler) doesn't tell me why. The task just goes away and the destination folder remains empty.
duh?
Thanks for any help
