A simple batch file that scans a drive and copies all new and modified files (within the last 60 minutes) to a destination folder. Within the destination folder, the batch file creates a new folder named with the date and time the backup is run (formatted as: 2008-10-15 06-10 0 the last part is military time with hour and minute). I will set my Windows Scheduler to run this backup batch file each hour. The goal is to backup any new file I create or modify to a new location each hour. I do NOT want to use incremental backup programs. These copy ALL file to a new location and compare modified dates. Many thanks. I hope for a batch file or software solution for my problem.

sounds like you want xcopy. check the parameters with xcopy /? from a command prompt, /d check against date, if no date is given, then time. (\__/) this is bunny (='.'=) copy bunny into all your signatures (")_(") to help him gain world domination!

Do you have a sample script?

xcopy src dest\ /s/d/y/c/v/r ===================================== Helping others achieve escape felicity M2
