O.K.
Thanks for the Suggestion Rickey....
This is an example from my cron script

Using crontab -e command i just inserted the lines..........like............


00    20     *      *      *   cp -u -a -R /vol/1rsdata /backup/rsdata

It means everyday at 8 P.M the data from /vol1/rsdata will be copied into /backup/rsdata with all subdirectories.


Thanks......................
