You can create a batch file that makes use of the ROBOCOPY resource kit tool, which can "mirror" the files on each server. You can then schedule the job to run nightly. We have done this in the past during new file server migrations

Where can I get this program ROBOCOP, how can I find it in my installation CD Windows 2000 Server?

It's not on the Windows 2000 CD. It's on the resource kit for Windows 2000 which should be able to be downloaded from MS website.

I prefer NTBackup as this can also backup your system state so you can actually restore Windows. What's your concern about NTBackup... perhaps you aren't fully aware of it's capabilities, especially via scripting?

I read on Manual :"By default Robocopy will only copy a file if the source and destination have different time stamps or different file sizes."
What is the parameter for me to copy all files?
