I am merely asking this question, so I dont waste hours upon hours doing something I have never attempted before, as I have no script or programming abilities.

Can I make up a script, that will execute from Windows XP Scheduled Tasks;

upon running, it will go out to our network (mapped drive), grab a copy of a very important file (911 database), then drop that copy on my desktop. I would like to get a backup of this file every week at the least.

Taking that a bit further, do you think a script could also go out and grab a copy of the same file, and burn that file onto a CD in the my CDROM each week? My biggest concern would be that something would happen to the original, but I find that to be remote.

Again, I have never attempted anything like this before, but if it can be done, I will gladly sit down, and do my best.

hi,

simple and fast answer : Yes is possible. The burning part would require external tools, but there are many to find an then to integrate them into an AutoIt script.

Good Luck,

Andre
