|  I'd second the suggestion of SyncToy as mentioned above. Check the help file to see how to schedule it. Pretty straight-forward. If you have XP Pro (as opposed to XP Home) you also have "Backup" as an option. Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Backup. If you're comfortable with the command line, Robocopy (free) from Microsoft is VERY slick, but aimed at the admin types. You can find in MS's Server Resource kits (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&displaylang=en) |

| I have been using SyncBack since long, may be a year. It's a very good software. http://www.2brightsparks.com/downloads.html |
