Moving Files

I'm trying to write a batch scriipt that will basically take a file from the
following location on the local server D:\Backup\file.dmp. I want to copy it
to another server via unc path. I want to avoid having to map a drive to the
folder on this server. the path to the folder is
\\server1\D$\backups\exports. Is there any difference between removing the
file from the destination directory or simply overwritting the file that
currenly resides on the destination server. I'm concerned with file
integrity. I would be running the script localy through a scheduled task on
the server which houses the file I want to move. Any help would be greatly
apprecaited.

George,

you might want to read about a utility called Robocopy.exe (from Microsoft)

Robocopy.exe (and robocopy.doc) comes with the Resource kit tools

HTH,
