Backup files from 1 PC to another?

This is the advice I'll be going with for now. A big DUH from me on the mapping the drive... That makes perfect sense. Off to check out the built in backup program.

Ok, so I've checked out the windows backup utility.
It can be scheduled to do backups at regular intervals which is great as I would very much prefer to have this as automated as possible.
The problem I have with it is that it creates a single backup file where as I am wanting to have usable files on both computers.
Perhaps what I'm looking for is synchronization between the computers?
Off to check out some programs to see if they offer what I'm looking for.

My suggestion will do EXACTLY what you want to do. :)

I'd second XCOPY, then. You can map the drives, then schedule XCOPY (or ROBOCOPY) to run automatically, keeping folders, subs, and rights intact.

Neato! Looks as though that's an included part of windows also. Researching usage...
