Copying Files from Client PC to Server

Hi,

I'm trying to find out if there is a way to automatically copy certain files
to the server (Windows 2003).  I have a user who needs their .pst files
copied to the server for a regular backup, but I'm not always in the office
to manually do it.  Is there a way to get the server to grab the file?

Thanks!

Anita

Use the Task Scheduler on the server to invoke this batch file once every
hour:
@echo off
xcopy /c /d /y "\\UserPC\c$\Documents and Settings\UserName\..\..\xxx.pst"
D:\UserBackup\
