Hi Everyone!
I'm wondering, I've heard this can be done. I have a server (2k3) and about 50 clients. Each user has thier own directory on the server. What we want to do is have all their data backed up on the corresponding computer. That way if the server goes offline, they can still work from local copies. Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks
Aaron
 
clumsy way
create a batch file that copies the data from server to C:\drive when they shut down.

You could schedule it to run as a task but I'm not sure if you can make it run before shutting down.
In Windows XP you can make it run when they Logon or when the computer starts.
