I'm not sure if anyone is familar with xcopy or not. I'm trying to set up a nightly task (on windows) that will copy an uniVerse account (uniVerse is an IBM RDMS but the account is really just a plain file) to a backup machine (i.e. server). We've tried setting up a batch file with an xcopy command in it but it just doesn't seem to work. I'm guessing no one in here has used the phantom command in uniVerse (or maybe not even uniVerse) but trying to use xcopy with that fails as well. Does anyone know of a simple way of scheduling a job in windows (and possibly Unix as well) that can copy an entire directory from one machine to another. Using the xcopy command in a batch file as a scheduled job does nothing and does not seem to give any feedback. Can anyone please help? I'd appreciate any feedback regarding this issue. Thanks.
