Hello All,

First let me say that I use Backup4All all the time (every night).
But I just got a new laptop and I created a back called "Desk-to-Laptop" and
want to do a Mirror backup to it ocasionally so that my files stay up to
date on my laptop.
I'm trying to backup all folders and subfolders from my C:JFD/Clients to My
laptop HDD:JFD/Clients.

BUT... what I get is My laptop HDD:JFD/Clients/Desk-to-Laptop/C/JFD/Clients.

I'm sure this is an easy fix, but I can't seem to find out how to just copy
everything in my Clients folder on my Desktop to my Clients folder on my
laptop.

TIA,
Muggs

If the computers are networked together then you can simply do an
xcopy of the files from one to the other using a batch file with one
or more lines which looks something like this:
xcopy c:\saved\docs\*.*  c:\saved\docs\ /e /c  /d /y
Of course you will need to share and map folders as a drive. You could
also map a drive then do a "make available offline" from the laptop
and keep the files synchronized that way.

Sorry that cmd won't for a mapped drive as they can't both be c:
xcopy c:\saved\docs\*.*  w:\saved\docs\ /e /c  /d /y
You can do xcopy to get the files from the desktop or push the files
to the laptop, Try variations until you get the results you want. Do
xcopy /? in a cmd prompt window to see the switches.
