Just remeber that You have to remove the previous backup files in You're batchfile since hotcopy doesn't overwrite them althogh it says so in the manual.

Hi Lars,

You mean that if hotcopy makes a backup in a destination directory the second time it will not be able to make it in the same directory?

Yes. I ran into this problem, so I had to make a batchfile like this:
del dest.folder\*.fdb /q
hotcopy.exe source=descriptionfile

Thanks for your answers!

So the sheduling part is something that you have to take care of your self, for exampel with the "At" command in NT?

Yes. Make sure You have the Schedule Service running. Then open a DOS-box and type somthing like this:
AT 09:00 /EVERY:M,Tu,W,Th,F hotcopy09.bat (the abbrivation for weekdays varies with the language of You're NT-system)
