Hi All,

I want to create a backup program using timer event. The program is to take the full volumn backup to the other volumn after every Hour. How can i do that. Can i use RUN xcopy '\\server\volumn'
command? or is there any other way to take backup of the files/volumns thru vfp and also the faster and safer.

And also if i use xcopy command, will it slow downs the server. and second main will it lock the files or not. means when doing xcopy other users will get disturb or not.

TIA

Amit
