Backup files from 1 PC to another?

(1/4) > >>

crashwg:
My situation is that I have two computers, no extra hard drives (or money to buy one) and I don't feel like wasting disks filling them half up with pictures but I want to have some sort of insurance against loosing a bunch of stuff (for the second time).

So I was pondering that there must be a way, program or otherwise, to do automatic backing up of specific folders between two PCs.

Anyone have any experience with this?

My google-fu is lacking today...  ???

tommy:
Email it.

XyloSesame:
If the machines are networked, you can map the drives and run pretty much any backup app, including the Microsoft bult-in. It might take a while on a 10/100 network, depending on the size of the backup, but it should work...

knave:
You could copy the files from one pc to the other manually.  or you can temporarily pull the HD out of one and install it as a slave to the other and swap the files.

I too have used the built in backup software in XP and found that it is adequate for most things.

Use a flash drive...

And I've heard that if you rub the monitors together they will each know what the other know's.   (Spooky)

zaphod:
Xcopy in a dos batch file as a scheduled task.
