You can use windows to schedule this program to run and it will create a separate folder for each day of the week on the target drive and copy your \EZW server folder, sub-folders, and files to it. Depending on the day of the week, it will create \EZWBK\MON\, \EZWBK\TUE\, \EZWBK\WED\, and so forth. The first time you run it you will need to select from a drop down list of available drives, to specify what drive the back up folders are to be created on. By Default each time it is launched it will only back up files that have changed according to the Target Day back up folder. Therefore, the first time it runs for each day of the week it will take a long long time to back up. We suggest running it overnight. After that each back should run much faster. There is a option you can check so that it backs up all the files all the time regardless of weither they have changed, the "Don't use /D" option. We normally recommend NOT USING using this option.
