Backup Files

Ok, I have a PC on a domain running Win2k with an external hard drive formated for NTFS. I have been asked if there is a way that I can synchronize files stored on this hard drive to a network drive, a type of file server, in which I don't know anything about. All users have access to this network drive. If there is not a way to synchronize these files, it would be possible to back them up to the network drive.

So, everyone is mapped to the external hard drive, and the files stored there remain open(24/7) until they are no longer needed. Then they are moved to another folder on that drive. I need to backup these open word/excel documents along with all the other folders and files to the network drive.

My solution was to add a macro to the word templates so that at a specific time at night I can copy all opened documents to a separate file, then copy these files with script on the pc. However, I would think microsoft has an easier solution.

Any way, I hope this makes sense as I have always been horrible at descriping my needs with words. Any Ideas?
