you can use shutdown to remotely shut down another windows xp/2000 machine provided there are no blocked ports etc, the command is

shutdown -s -m \\computername

xcopy /D:month-date-year will copy all files created/modified after the date specified. Otherwise, xcopy just overwrites files unless you tell it not to.

Anyone know of any good backup software that will just backup a directory/number of files (if they have been changed) every time windows shuts down?

been looking around and cant find anything - dont really want a program that will compress it into its own format etc, just copy the files to a different drive,

tar :thumbs:
