Scheduling a file transfer!

In SBS 2000 how do you schedule a file transfer of 2 *.bkf (MS Backups)
files to be transfered over the network to another server which is a backup
server?

Many thx

I don't know if theres an specific way... but the old "copy" command would
work pretty ok for me.

Create a batch file (backuptransfer.bat):
COPY /Y [source] [destination]

The /Y switch is for overwritting existing files... you might want to turn
it off.

Then just use task scheduler and select a schedule to run
backuptransfer.bat.
