I installed SyncToy today and unfortunately I am disapointed with it. It was
not what I was hoping that it would be. I guess for what it actually is it
does it's job. But what I am looking for as well as other pro photographers
is a program that will take the photos from my memory card and write it to
several locations at one time as well as give me the option to burn them to a
DVD. I was hoping for this solution in SyncToy. If any of you out there know
of a program that will do this for me please let me know.

I use Microsoft's DOS program called RoboCopy to do something similar to
this. I schedule it with XP's Scheduled Tasks and use it to mirror a
directory a couple of times per day. RoboCopy has many options and some of
them can delete a lot of files very quickly if done wrong so *** be very
careful ***. It does have an option to log the expected changes so you can
verify the results before you set it to actually do the work. Its a free
download and part of the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&DisplayLang=en.
It runs under Windows XP just fine.
