[X-Newbies] Re: Backing Up Files

[Christopher Collins]

Thanks Charles.

There are 2 problems with your suggestion. Cost and availability.

rsync is available on all UNIX's and is free.

Why would I want to pay $24 for something that I can make happen so  
easily?

1). Create a batch file to do what you need.
2). Create a scheduled task to make the file happen at the time you  
want.
3). Simple, easy and cheap!

There is no advantage to me or the client to go and spend $24 to do  
what can be done easily with a simple batch file (or the equivalent  
under unix)

And the sarcastic comment wasn't needed. Command lines were around  
long before Mac OS and will be here long after it is gone.
