• Writing files to multiple locations

Sorry for my ignorance, but is there a way to do this? I want to write files to an external HDD as well as my C drive. I'm running XP if that makes any difference. Thanks FP!
Not exactly. You could schedule some kind of batch file to backup shit every 10 minutes or so.
Could I type up the file in notepad and save as .bat? I've done this once to access command prompt from school, and that only required I do the slightly different "command.com" and save as a .bat. Basically, I have no idea what to put in the .bat. Any ideas on that problem?
Press Windows+R, type in "cmd", type in "help" and you have all commands. You can get extra info about a certain command by typing "help command" IIRC. It should be something like copy C:\folder\blah echo fuk off
Will it automatically repeat the command? I want it to be able to detect when a file is saved, and then update the backup. Thanks for the help so far!
Windows can run programs automatically, based on a time schedule. It's somewhere in the Control Panel or how that stuff is called in English Windows'.
Awesome. Thank you!
