| Re: Schedule BAckup copying only directory names not the data Ayaz, Personally, I would write a few line recursive program to write the directory names to a text file & then you can save the text file. You could do this via scripting & you can find many scripts on the Technet website: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr...r/default.mspx Here's a simple recursive folder log example in VBS: http://www.byanyother.name/marshall/...st_folders.zip In the script itself you will see "E:\zDrive". Replace it with the drive you want to scan. It also hard codes a log file. You can change the path to whichever you wish. Plus, if you want to scan another machine than the one being run on the change strComputer = "." to the machine name. The logfile is set for append rather than overwrite contents too If you have any problems then use the VBS scripting newsgroup & they will write you a script to tailor your needs: microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript If you prefer to write it in pure VB or another language then look at the KB programming articles on the Microsoft site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306666/en-us The C#/C++ articles are referenced at the top of the page -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "Ayaz Buriro" <AyazBuriro@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:C88C1AE8-25D7-4BBD-AF17-F2632D73379A@microsoft.com... > I have small network of computers on workgroup. > When i set schedule backup it copies only the directory name on the network > storage drive .
