Automatically copy files Software... Or a Script... Anyone, Please help!!!

[GeSuN]

Hi, I have to find a software that would do almost the same thing as Ghost, but live...

I mean, a client has 2 drives in a computer at work, one is removable so he can bring this drive at home and work on the same files he worked on during the day.

Here's what the software is supposed to do :
-The client works in an (Ex:Excel) file, and each time he saves it on the fixed drive, it also updates the file on the removable drive.

That way, this client will have the latest version of his file on both drives. He'll also be able to see the copied files on the removable drive instantly, he won't have to wait.

Is there a software that would do this??? Or maybe there is a way to set Windows to make an automatic backup of the files??? Anyone can help me on this?

Thank you!

Oh, by the way, RAID is not a solution...

One option (brute force) would be to set up a DOS batch file

Compare file date/time stamp on hard drive against the removeable drive.
When different date/time stamp, copy.

Delay x seconds and repeat the loop for ever.


I have never used the Windows briefcase, it may be intended to do this for you.

Well with that method, if my client has an opened file, the batch file won't be able to copy that one too... Right?

Get a program called Second Copy. Second Copy

It can be set to synchronize files, copy files between two different drives, or even two different networks.
