| I have no idea on how to update both simultaneously when you save one (assuming you're in Windows), but you could write a batch script to copy the file from one folder to the other and have it run at preset times through task scheduler. | |

| That is something I have wanted to do, and its something M$ really should have incorporated into the OS.
Much easier, and more codeable than games or desktop themes. But M$ is just not that serious.
Can it be done in Linux?? | |

| Yes, well, sort of. If you want a file in two different folders you can link them so that it appears that the data's stored in both locations but physicaly the file's still in one location so this doesn't provide redundancy. If you want redundancy you could also setup a RAID1 array, but AFAIK this has to be done on the partition level.
There may even be a utility that synchronizes folders that I don't know about. I've barely scratched the surface on the utilities that are available so this is very likely. | |

| Bad that it is not possible in M$, but does anyone know of any utility that does it ?
I had thought of the batch file but the problem is I have the files open continuously.
Thanks in Advance | |

| What about a scheduled task that ran every min or so to check and see if the file has changed and if it has to back it up to the second location and reset the archive bit | |

| How do I check if the file is updated and reset the archive bit.
Let me specify my system configuration and my requirments.
I have Windows NT WorkStation 4 with Office 97 on my system. I wanted a solution where I can save a MS Word file simultaneously in 2 different folders on different drives.
Are there are any utilities or software that can do the above ? | |

| OK there is a program you can download at cnet called Second Copy 2000.I think that is what you are after | |

| There are pleanty of image software packages out there that will watch everything on a disk and duplicate it to a secondary drive. Here is one example of this

I used some before to insure information was not going to be corrupted. Also helped in backups since the active file was not in use, didn't have to skip it. When you are playing with over 50Gigs of data for over 150 users, it gets pretty intense over availability and data integrity. | |

| I will check out both PowerSync and Second Copy 2000 today.
Thanks for your help |
