I do
not use perl for backups.
But I
do use batch files. Instead of xcopy, I would highly recommend robocopy
from the NT Resource Kit. It is much more robust.
Unless
special modules have been created specifically for backing up data, I don't see
how perl could speed this up any.

Subject: Backup scriptsDoes anyone use Perl scripts to perform machine backups? Our current backup structure consists of each machine backing up to a central server, and then the server is backed up to a DLT tape every night. Each machine uses a batch file with a series of XCOPY commands. I'm not sure if Perl could speed this up any.-Chris---------------------------------------------------------
