I work on an XP box. For performance reasons, I want to keep a local
copy of my Visual Sourcesafe database. For backup, I want the
directory in which I store the database to be constantly synched with
a directory on a W2K server. I've done searches, and I can only find
Public Folder info (Exchange Server) or shareware.

When you answer, please keep in mind that I'm a programmer, not a
network administrator -- please use full names instead of acronyms so
I can follow what you're saying.

Thanks all;
Duncan
 
Have you tried Robocopy from the Windows 2000 Resource Kit? That has some
switches that will synchronize directories. I've never used it for that
purpose, but I believe it works OK.

Since you're on XP, you could try downloading the Windows Server 2003 ResKit
Tools from the Microsoft web site. Not sure if that contains Robocopy,
though.

I'll take a look -- thank you Oli!
